Mahali The Bearer of Good Fortune

With her back turned and shoulders softened in quiet surrender, Mahali stands as a symbol of grace, faith, and enduring resilience. Rendered in layered acrylics—shades of grey, dark charcoal, and soft yellow—her presence is both grounded and luminous. Her dark brown skin, painted with reverence, anchors the composition in ancestral memory and quiet strength. Mahali does not face the viewer, yet she invites us inward—toward prosperity not as possession, but as presence. She is the bearer of good fortune, not through grandeur, but through stillness. A portrait of becoming.
