Notes

My work examines identity within postcolonial Africa, focusing on belonging within the framework of the nation-state. As a black Zimbabwean navigating diasporic and transnational experiences, I explore how these facets of my identity influence my art. By translating my personal journey and multifaceted identifications into art jewellery, I aim to visually articulate and celebrate the nuanced realities of contemporary African identity. My creations reflect an ongoing exploration of how personal and collective narratives intersect, offering a rich perspective on identity in a globalised world.
