Guardian of Hope

"Guardian of Hope" is a striking and evocative artwork by Richard Ngombe Yumba, featuring a young Congolese girl draped in the vibrant colors of the Congo flag. With one hand holding the top of a gun and a determined expression on her face, she stands against a backdrop of a Pentagon symbol, representing strength and resilience. This powerful image contrasts the innocence of youth with the harsh realities of conflict, symbolizing the enduring hope and spirit of the Congolese people. Through "Guardian of Hope," Richard aims to highlight the courage and tenacity of the new generation, embodying the aspirations for peace, justice, and a brighter future for the Congo.
