Collage Art, 18" x 24", by Goitoom Gebru
"My artwork, 'Moment,' captures the essence of Tigray's historical strength and spirituality embodied in an ancient cave church. Despite the current challenges of war and drought, the piece symbolizes resilience and optimism. The central image of a pregnant woman with a shining crown represents our enduring hope for a brighter future. Created using a collage technique with magazine cutouts, the artwork aims to convey a message of faith and aspiration in the face of adversity" -Goitoom Gebru
