This image, the central canvas or Canvas Two from Levi Naidu-Mitchell’s triptych, takes place metaphorically in the Middle Passage, displaying the Mangrove tree: ‘A concrete yet unruly and powerful plant, able to adapt in the worst of conditions, it acts here as a symbol of Black resistance. The Mangrove thrives in adversity, its roots both below and above water, creating an ecosystem and a sanctuary.’
