"Whispers of Memories“ was inspired by a myth I heard not so long ago. The myth was about a leopard known as Nyota, which means “Star” in Swahili language. Nyota was not just any leopard; she possessed a rare gift: the ability to enter the dreams of other creatures in the savanna. It was said that when Nyota slept, her spirit would roam the world of dreams, weaving together the hopes and desires of those nearby.
According to the myth, each night, as she drifted into slumber, her dreams would take flight gathering the dreams of her fellow creatures, bringing together their wishes for safety, abundance, and love. However, there was a catch: Nyota could only share her gift with those who truly believed in her magic. Those who were fortunate enough to experience this would awaken with a renewed sense of purpose and connection.
I invite you to step into my painting and embrace your own stories and dreams.
