“It Takes a Village” captures the essence of unity and community through its vibrant portrayal of community. Each figure is distinct yet interconnected and the palette is rich and earthy, dominated by deep reds and warm ochres. Amidst the abstraction, the figures’ expressions remain poignant, conveying a profound sense of solidarity and shared purpose. The men and women stand as pillars of their community, their presence a testament to the adage that it truly takes a village to foster growth, support, and resilience. Through “It Takes a Village,”I wanted to celebrate the beauty of human connection and the power of collective effort.
