Ceaseless Bloom

Gathoni 'Noni' Njoroge

Kenya

Ceaseless Bloom was created during a period when I was grappling with the hopelessness that followed repeated protests and the frustration of witnessing little change, while the conditions around me seemed to worsen.

As I moved through feelings of anger and defeat, I realised I needed to pause and listen to what I was feeling rather than suppress it.

Creating this piece reminded me that hope is not always a feeling that comes naturally, it is something we have to consciously choose and nurture. Ceaseless Bloom became a reflection of my own struggle to hold onto hope, even in moments when it feels impossible.

Through this work, I came to understand that I cannot afford to lose hope of witnessing a better world within my lifetime.
