Some dreams come true and some dreams never see the light of day. "I gaze at this boy who is still as a statue, lost in thought, perhaps about tomorrow or days gone by. As our eyes meet, in a split second I sense fascination in his eyes, a likeness of a dreamer in his own world, while he sits on a nearby wall of Chitambi school, where children over the years have drawn.”This work is available in a 40x40cm satin matte print in a limited edition of 8. Mulenga J Mulenga is a visual artist who lives and works in Zambia. She also mentors other Zambian artists especially through the non-profit Insakartists Trust.
