It represents #tukula the red cam wood powder, the midday sun and the prime of life in the physical world. When I Paint #Lukeni first Mwene Kongo I want tap into what I did with this painting.

It is an homage to the various Kongo based religious traditions in the americas. The piece is 5’‘x20’ feet. Im Looking at these large scale pieces I used to make as I prepare for this year’s projects.
