2018

In A Monkey And Two Elephants I have portrayed my friend Mariamou in her daycare "Auntie's Daycare". Raising her own children while taking care of others' she is shown here coaxing her daughter Diarra to change her dress. Another child looks at me, the intruder, as she anxiously touches Mariamou for reassurance. I am so privileged to be a part of this scene and to have our deep relationship where we are like sisters, daughters and mothers to each other. Our friendship is a pure thing based on love, respect and admiration and I have tried to put as much of that as I can into this painting.
