Heritage #45

Heritage is a generative art collection that merges deep-rooted culture with modern technology. Beadworks are globally appreciated by thousands of communities, more specifically in Africa. They have been a core part of African cultures across the continent for centuries. They are a symbol of beauty, sexuality, spirituality, status, identity and much more. Their colours, shapes and sizes all hold different stories to tell. Through necklaces, bracelets, anklets, waist beads and artefacts, beadworks have solidified their presence in the modern world while still preserving the rich history associated with them.

We as contemporary creators pay homage to this timeless craft and the generations of artists who safeguarded it for legacies. Each output, through our meticulously crafted palettes, is a piece of the past, present and future presented on a canvas. We are preserving our heritage.
