KUJENGA
Kujenga from Swahili means to build or construct. It may mean to build or construct a dwelling. There is also the human element to Kujenga, that I represent here in these glass pieces. Building one’s life, chapter by chapter, folding in all the variables, challenges and opportunities we all encounter. The many turns in these glass pieces represent the changing stories and adaptations we face as humans, so we can begin again anew.
