“Garden in Gold” bursts with color and movement, evoking a lively garden scene where women are not just participants but the driving force behind a vibrant community. The figures, fluid yet distinct, engage in work, exchange, and connection, symbolizing the essential roles women have played in economic and social structures throughout history. This piece speaks to the theme of Women’s History Month by celebrating the resilience, collaboration, and industrious spirit of women who have shaped societies through their labor and leadership. Women and children engage in harvesting, carrying baskets, and exchanging produce, representing the cycles of growth and generosity that define shared green spaces. This work highlights the garden as a space where knowledge is passed down, traditions are preserved, and collective efforts yield sustenance for all. It speaks to the idea that tending to the earth is also an act of tending to each other, reinforcing the deep-rooted connections between women and the land.
