Inspired by the 2020 pandemic, i always like to combine the modern with the tradtional. These masks are an artisitc statement contradicting the normal use of cultural masks that hide identity, these proudly show the African culture that i'm from. My designs are inspired by the traditional beadworkof the Maasai, a tribe that i'm from. The Maasai can be found in Kenya and North Tanzania. My designs were made by Maasai women, skilled in the art of beaded accessories. I had the wonderful opportunity to collaborate with other young black artists with this project, @ghphotography, stylist- Josh Gilzeane, Models- MaryAnn and Michaela.
