**“UWA”** (meaning *Mother* in Hausa), beautifully portrays a proud Plateau mother dressed in traditional attire. Her clothing is rich in vibrant red and patterned fabric, symbolizing strength, cultural pride, and resilience. The red background, woven with native textures and motifs like calabash patterns and elephants, connects her to her heritage and the land she represents. Her expression is calm, wise, and gentle—reflecting the quiet strength of many mothers in the Plateau region. The wrinkles on her face speak of years of sacrifice, love, and endurance. Her head tie (gele) is wrapped with care and dignity, while her simple jewelry adds a touch of elegance that speaks to self-respect and inner grace. This image captures more than just a woman—it reflects the **heart of motherhood** in Nigerian communities: nurturing, preserving, protecting, and loving without condition. It honors the role of mothers as the backbone of families and the silent builders of future generations.
