Reflection captures the way our communities shape us and how we, in turn, mirror them. It delves into the layers of identity formed by the places we inhabit and the people we encounter. Through this work, I explore how our experiences—both uplifting and challenging—forge our resilience, highlighting the dynamic relationship between self and society. This piece speaks to the subtle yet profound ways that our surroundings etch themselves onto us, leaving imprints of shared life and personal growth.

My father works in Kosovo trading centre as a Boda Boda rider. They have a stage where they park their motorcycles in front of a mobile money shop. At their stage, when they see a customer coming, every one of them rushes to go and pick him or her. He tells me that life there is fun but sometimes challenging because some days, he can return without any money because customers are lost. I did this artwork to celebrate my father and his job, I hope to become a doctor when I grow up and support my family. – Agaba

Agriculture is the backbone of Uganda because it provides us with food. When you plant your seeds, you have a hope to harvest at the right time. When you don’t plant, there’s nothing to harvest at all. This artwork is of me together with my mother and young sister while planting some vegetables in our backyard garden. –Najjuma
