Meaning:

"Wrath Of Youth II" is born from the reality of the streets of Kampala in Uganda, bearing witness to the silent battles faced by the artist's generation. It portrays the heavy weight of survival—the relentless pressure to remain strong, to hustle endlessly, and to endure circumstances that often feel like "sitting on fire."

The smoke enveloping the composition represents these hidden struggles: frustration, economic hardship, and the intense emotional heat carried internally. While the subject may appear calm on the surface, a "slow burn" exists beneath the stillness. The figure is seated not out of defeat, but in a state of deep endurance—waiting and working for a breakthrough.

Contrasting this struggle is the bird, a powerful symbol of hope, opportunity, and salvation. It reflects the belief that something greater is on the horizon—the dream of being seen, supported, and lifted beyond current realities. Ultimately, this piece speaks for a generation that is tired yet resilient, wounded yet hopeful; it is a testament not just to struggle, but to a faithful belief in transformation.
