Akili Ni Nywele - Poster Series

"Akili ni nywele (kila mtu ana zake)" is a swahili proverb that translates to "Intelligence is [like] hair, every person has his/her own."

It is used to potray as sense of uniqueness in an individuals intelligence, opinion and/or creativity
 
I took it to heart while coming up with abstract forms of people's "Physical intelligence" .Literally "Inteligence as hair!" Had fun with this particular project!

They also serve as my first poster series for sale as digital prints. 
 
Enjoy!
