2025-06-05 | New work by our fellow Terrence Musekiwa

The sculpture Muzvuva mhosva by our fellow Terrence Musekiwa rejects the illusion of linear time. The triangle, with no start or end, becomes a metaphor for the cyclical and recursive nature of experience. The walking hands suggest agency and movement, but also the impossibility of escaping time’s grasp.

Culturally**, the cowrie shell centers the piece in African temporality, where time is not abstract, but rhythmic, embodied, and remembered. The shell is not a fossil, but a heartbeat.
