Rina, who lives in South Africa with its intense summers and long dry spells, was deeply moved by a poem by DP the Poet. Inspired, she created an artwork using soft, airy strokes of white, grey, blue, and beige oils to reflect the emotions the poem evoked in her.
“He looked to her
expecting refreshment.
She was a beautiful
white, puffy cloud
Large in the sky,
Which brought no rain
to a water starved land.”
