The Tale of Mwindo

This piece is based on a story from the Congo told by the Nyanga people about a warrior child with mystical abilities. Growing up I have always been intrigued by mythical stories from all over. I made this piece after going on a search for folk tales that I hadn’t heard of. As a lover of stories I was eager to discover more amazing tales. My goal with this piece was to create the feel of a children’s story using wood.
