Charcoal on straw board

Armed Without Teeth explores the vulnerability of youth caught within environments shaped by conflict and survival. The composition presents young figures holding weapons that appear larger than themselves, creating a tension between innocence and imposed responsibility.

No. 8

Charcoal on brown paper

No. 8 is a portrait of my favorite Kenyan artist, Octopizzo. His music speaks about everyday life and motivates people to keep working hard despite challenges. Through charcoal, I aimed to capture his thoughtful character and the positive influence he has on his audience. The use of light and shadow emphasizes resilience, determination, and inspiration.

BOB AND WEAVE

Charcoal on brown paper

Bob and Weave examines themes of protection, adaptation, and survival through the image of a figure wearing a gas mask. The title references the defensive movement used in boxing, suggesting a constant negotiation between threat and endurance. Executed in charcoal, the work combines sharp geometric forms with expressive shading to create a sense of tension and unease. The obscured face removes personal identity, transforming the figure into a symbol of contemporary anxieties surrounding conflict, environmental uncertainty, and the instinct to persevere under pressure.
