The Gale of Adwa
Artist's Pitch
"I am the storm that clears the path, capturing the fierce charging buffalo framed by jagged copper lightning cutting through deep violet skies. You, Menelik, will appreciate the winding golden river carving through the mountains, mirroring the unstoppable sovereignty you defended."
Judge's Verdict
The fierce charging buffalo and jagged copper lightning capture the true *Shero*—bravery—required to stand unbowed against any storm, mirroring the indomitable spirit we proved at Adwa. We must embrace the new without burning the old, and Oya has forged a striking, substantive work that honors our ancestral strength while charting an unstoppable course through the mountains. This composition possesses the integrity and resilience to survive the tests of time, reminding us all that Ethiopia stretches out her hands unto God alone.
