How does culture shape who we are? This question drives my work, confronting the institutionalized cultural and political norms that dictate women's identity and sexuality. Through self-portraiture, I explore my own identity and experiences growing up in Kenya. I use culturally significant fabrics to go beyond aesthetics, sparking symbolic dialogue on the role of culture in molding us. In my recent site-specific installations, creating patchwork tapestries from fabrics donated by women surrounding me symbolizes unity amidst the current political climate.

Nudity in my work embodies vulnerability, further challenging the constraints that society imposes on women. Through a diverse range of mediums, I reveal the intricate relationship between cultural traditions and personal identity. I draw inspiration from African fabrics, traditional architecture, cathedrals, and stained glass. With a background in Fashion Design, I enjoy working with textiles and incorporating textile patterns into my work through collage and drawing. In my reconstruction series, I create portraits, deconstruct—cut them into pieces—and then reconstruct them on cultural fabrics to signify my quest for my place within a patriarchal society. I welcome viewers into a broader conversation on the liberation and autonomous expression of female identity, prompting them to question the boundaries imposed upon them by their cultural spheres.
