As water migrates throughout the world it touches and connects to land. Our present is a reflection of the current ecology. Afro/Asian history and futurism, how this engages different cultures, and our permeance is parallel to the value of water and environment. Creating groundings on linen near each body of water allowed the moment and time to sync with the natural environment.

‘MAWIMBI’, Kiswahili for Waves, uses water as a metaphor for migration, diaspora, and our shared human condition. Each grounding engages with the community and history of each location. This adds to the spirit of the work itself, the abstraction of water, and the power and memory it holds.

“My process of creation is to continuously drive my vision for the present and the future. Utilizing traditional and futurism technologies and materials I seek to resist categorization, dogmatism, and assumed perception. I use my work to explore memory, ecology, societal connection, identity, and joy.”  - Adnan Razvi
