Pumzi ya Maisha (The Breath of Life)

A Dance In The Milky Way, is an 8 series body of work that focuses on the spiritual longevity of love between Black/Afrikan people across the Diaspora, that has been attempted to be hidden through the lens of the media. It is my goal to always show the beauty of our community through the use of cultural exploration, symbolism, and color. This piece is titled Pumzi ya MaishaThe Breath of Life.

“And the LORD Yahweh God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul”. GEN 2:7
