In Setswana this is the term for a birthgiver. This botanical series resonates with feminine and water-related names. Echoing the figurative works there is a “lifeline” connection between the primordial fluid of the womb and the life-sustaining sap, nectars and extracts that we draw from the natural habitat.

This lino print honours the birthgiver as the living vessel of creation, where womb and earth reflect one another. It speaks of the sacred lifeline — the fluid that nurtures within and the nectar that sustains without — reminding us that every act of giving life is both human and cosmic.
