Profile

Adam Yawe is a 3D artist and product designer based in Kenya. Adam’s practice focuses on urban material culture and the objects we encounter on our everyday journeys, where they come from, why they exist, and how they may be reimagined. Through his work, he emphasizes that a focus on reimagining everyday objects can change the way we perceive the world around us, solidifying our connection to the culture and identity being crafted in the present day. Adam hopes to create archives and references that creatives can use as inspiration in their own practices.
