Tesfalem Atenaw

This piece, inspired by the rich history and culture of Africa, explores the interplay between language, identity, and the human experience. The Ge'ez and Sabaean scripts, ancient writing systems of the region, are incorporated into the figure's form, symbolizing the weight of history and the enduring nature of human connection. The figure's contemplative pose and the vibrant colour palette evoke a sense of both introspection and celebration.
