Introduction by Thandiwe Muriu.

Each photograph is paired with an African proverb in English and Swahili.

"Self-taught, born and raised in Nairobi, Thandiwe managed to create her own universe, merging Kenyan history and tradition with her very own personal - and utterly contemporary - aesthetic ... Sculptural hairstyles, bright prints, everyday objects are transformed into something new and unexpected, and all of these elements come together into photographs that are a sort of transfiguration, portraits that become powerful symbols of beauty and pride."
