This piece is based on the Karkade plant, or the Sudanese hibiscus. This plant is both symbolic and very
medicinal. Hibiscus tea is a diuretic, so it’s a cleanser; it’s used to help with heart disorders, high blood
pressure, fevers, and infections. It is also very high in vitamin C, so it helps with immune support. This is

why the plant is so valued all over the world. It is offered to guests in a home and shared with the
community. It symbolizes community, resilience, unity, and a testament to the endurance of the Sudanese
people.
