This painting serves as a vital documentation of our heritage, reminding us of the importance of our roots and the richness of our village Art This painting illustrates how vital the palm plantation is to our lives and suggests that we must remember to take care and appreciate these resources Although the palm plantation is an economic asset that provides us with many benefits there is a sense of neglect surrounding it. This painting aims to draw the attention of my village people to the importance of working on the palm plantation and how we can develop and protect these valuable resources. By creating this painting, I hope it will spark conversion and reflection on how we care for these resources and how we can build a better future for our village. This painting is my contribution to promoting change and support for our palm plantation. Just like they say, "No part of the palm tree is a waste", so why allow our natural resources to be wasted? I sought to capture the essence of life that flows through our community.
The stream is more than just a body of water it is a lifeline that nourishes the land and connects us to our roots The gentle ripples of the water symbolize the passage of time.
