“Moya” means “breath” in Swahili.
This breath that crosses the invisible, that circulates between worlds, between beings. The one that consoles without a sound, that sustains without appearing.
This painting is a tribute to all the children taken from life too soon, and to those who remain — scarred, wounded, but still standing.
It is a silent prayer, an outstretched hand amidst the chaos. A light placed upon the ruins, so that the breath may never be extinguished.
The deep fissures and cracks are filled with "beauty," these fissures welcome a chalcedony stone, soft and calming, like a balm.
It was carved by neighboring hands — those of a woman who knows war.
Placed at the heart of the painting, the stone becomes a witness to a collective memory, a broken neighborhood, and a bond that even violence cannot sever.
Moya is a breath of love, for Aladdin, for her family, for all the children of the world who live between two worlds.
