Sibomana
I met Sibomana in Kabuga, riding his matabaro bicycle loaded with crates of beer and Fanta his everyday work as a porter, transferring goods from wholesalers to small neighborhood shops. Balancing the weight on his bike takes skill and strength, but he navigates these busy streets with experience earned over time.
He told me he has been doing this job in Kabuga for five years, after migrating from the Eastern Province in search of a better life. His wife and two children stayed behind, relying on the support he sends home. His daily rides are more than work they are a promise to his family.
This painting honors his determination and sacrifice, a man who keeps moving forward, powered by responsibility, hope, and love for the people waiting for him back home.
