"Harvest Queen" is an acrylic painting inspired by "Umuganura", a traditional Rwandan celebration where communities gather to share the country's harvest. The painting captures the essence of this event through the portrayal of a woman standing proudly in a maize field, harvesting maize with careful hands. Her posture reflects both the strength and grace of those who work the land. The vibrant colors and textures of the maize field surround her, symbolizing the abundance of the harvest and the communal spirit of Umuganura. The painting pays homage to the vital role of women in agriculture and the deep cultural significance of the harvest in Rwandan society.
