Hove Nemoronga Wayo (The Fish's Path)

In The Fishes Path, Mbayiwa reflects on the crosscurrents between tradition and modernity. The work draws on the visual language of Western pop culture—bright, familiar motifs reimagined through an Af rican lens. Beneath its playful surface lies a meditation on displacement and resilience: how cultural identity drifts and reforms in a world shaped by global media and consumer imagery. Like fish navigating turbulent waters, Mbayiwa’s figures embody adaptability and survival, continuing their journey even when the current runs against them.
