The Sound of Nature II reflects a quiet, spiritual connection rooted in love, care, and presence. Inspired by the spirit of Alkebulan, it portrays a mother as a symbol of divine nurture—protective, resilient, and deeply connected to her child. Her embrace becomes a silent prayer, expressing devotion beyond words. The surrounding land is integral, echoing Rwandan beliefs that God (Imana) is found in everyday life—in motherhood, relationships, and shared human experiences. This piece celebrates the sacredness of care, the strength of bonds, and spirituality grounded in people and place. Size: 100 × 80 cm Medium: Acrylic on canvas Artist: Romeo Niyigena
