Description
Metal Handkerchief (2019) is a series of nine acrylic-on-metal paintings that fuse the vibrant, communicative geometry of East African Kangas with the sterile language of British industrial health manuals. By isolating rigid workplace instructions, the work subverts corporate safety phrases into poetic strategies for personal survival, care, and cultural resilience.
