    Abstract
    The art form was done at a time of cultural consciousness and it was one of Kaddu’s undergraduate projects. The toga is a form of dressing of the Baganda. The backcloth represents the past and the contemporary. Without the contemporary, there is no future. The art form presents the father in a traditional attire, while holding a child. The child dons a western attire, a shirt and trousers, as a sign of western modernity in Uganda. While the father represents the past, the child represents the future. Both child and father look into space attentively but not clear, they are looking at the uncertainties of the future with confidence. That is why the father stands firmly in the ground and firmly holds the child in his hands as if he is trying to protect the child from uncertainties of the future. On the other hand, the gesture of hands holding symbolized a father’s love and protection and the fear to let the child go and face the world on his own. However, the aesthetic body has been destroyed by natural patterns of grey as a result of the weather.
