Display

Made for a clean frame, a calm wall, and a collector who wants one work with enough depth to set the tone of the entire space.

Meaning

Portrait of a Himba girl. The daily life of Himba girls and women includes carrying water, plastering homes, collecting firewood, attending to calabash vines, cooking, and making handicrafts, clothing, and jewelry. Young girls also help take care of the many children in the village.
