The idea behind this body of work is functionalism: the theory that all aspects of a society serve a function and are necessary for the survival of that society. Every single brush stroke represents some form of our connection as humanity, and its purpose. I drew my inspiration from Nairobi, a very complex and unique city where I was born and raised. From my experience, my idea was connecting different factors, which led me to ask questions like “Who am I?” “Where am I?” “Where should I go?” 

We each play a role in this life and the bigger picture, spanning in the element of who we are individually and how it reflects the bigger part of society.
