Using egg shell mosaics to tell the story of their life and their community.
Mika Obanda is a Kenyan artist who creates vibrant and personal mosaics using egg shells sourced from local hotels. Cleaning, drying and colouring them, before painstakingly placing each individual tiny piece onto his canvases.
Frenny Jowi visits him in his studio in the Nairobi slum of Mukuru as he works on his latest collection. It鈥檚 a series called Trying to Blossom, in which he often places himself at the centre of his art works, showing not only his own journey as an artist and a person, but also as an activist, reflecting spirituality, love and the wider issues facing himself and his community.
