In this painting, a Black man sits on a simple chair, his posture relaxed but his eyes focused and thoughtful. The background is minimalistic emphasising the subject's solitude and introspection.
"Waiting" captures a moment of silent resilience and contemplation. The man's patient waiting symbolizes the broader experience of waiting for change, recognition, and justice. His calm demeanour represents a powerful inner strength and the quiet endurance of countless individuals who face societal challenges with dignity and grace.
The simplicity of the scene invites viewers to reflect on the profound patience required in the face of systemic adversity. The empty space around the man signifies both the isolation felt by marginalised communities and the potential for future progress.
