Bititi

Bititi — strong lady. (Swahili, Kenya, East Africa)

She does not look away. She does not soften herself for the room. The flowers she carries are rich, earthy, layered; an explosion of depth that frames a face that needs no introduction.

The third piece in the Flower Girls collection, this portrait is a study in quiet strength. The gold behind her is warm and alive, and those eyes hold everything they have seen without apology.

Named for what she is.

16 × 20 inches. Mixed media. Prints available. Part of a private collection.
