An ancient Sesotho word for life giving water. 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 honors water as the breath of life — flowing through womb, river, and root. Each line carries the memory of creation, where feminine essence and natural abundance are inseparable. The work reminds us that the same sacred fluid that nurtures birth also rises through plants and trees, binding human and earth in one continuous lifeline.
