The Paper People
New paper-pulp art series that shreds much more than Victoria Secret magazines. My intention is clear: to cast a critical eye on global topics such as climate change, pollution and conservation.
Voice of Maasai
One of my long-term projects, Voice of Maasai, is an 8-yr cross-cultural storytelling project that has evolved into a multimedia indie label that seeks to advance opportunities, crack stereotypes and build bridges for empowerment for Maasai youth and young adults. The project archive includes indie music productions, photo and video documentation, graphic design, brand development, fine art and rich storytelling of the nuances of Maasailand.
Civil Sphere
Photography/Digital Collage
2017-current
My Civil Sphere art series investigates common levers of humanity and patterns of society. My process includes capturing sources of light at a very slow shutter speed to create the background image for the composition. I next layer vector graphics, creating the story of the nuances and patterns of our civil societies.
