before kings, there were mothers

Description

“before kings, there were mothers” is a reminder that power did not begin with crowns or conquest, but with women, care, creation and lineage. This design by Candace Cynthia features the quote framed by a sunflower floral border, symbolizing nourishment, community and resilience. Sunflowers turn toward the light, and in its absence, they turn towards each other. Carrying life, wisdom and continuity through generations. This piece honours the mothers who came before us, the matriarchal foundations of humanity and the quiet power that history often overlooks.
