Roots of Resonance: The Baobab Tree Project 2022-23
Roots of Resonance: The Baobab Tree Project delves into the profound connection between the baobab tree, cowhide, and the cultural significance of sound and vibration, drawing inspiration from the myth of Negarit. This historical myth highlights the fourth-century Abyssinians' use of drum-making as vital conduits for communication, community bonding, and spiritual expression.
These paintings capture the essence of the baobab tree and the transformative role of the drums in the community. The drums, often adorned with cowhide drumheads, transcend their role as mere instruments, becoming the very heartbeat of communities. They serve as essential tools for communication, celebration, and healing.
The project highlights the physical and symbolic properties of the power of sound.
