Collection: Ngundu-Ngundu

This evocative two-part series visually manifests the rhythmic vessel heard in celebrations and rituals across the African Diaspora: the homophone "Ngundu Ngundu." The drum’s pulse is translated into striking monochrome studies, utilizing the textural contrast of chalk on black paper (Ngudu I) and charcoal on white paper (Ngudu II). This high-contrast approach emphasizes the instrument as a profound vessel of cultural preservation, celebrating African music's essential role in transmitting heritage across generations.
