Hello! I'm naitiemu

I am curious about understanding human psychology and the intricate relationship with our surroundings, and how that impacts the connections within ourselves.

I find that art is the synthesis of natural elements and cultural frameworks, producing creations that are not only visually appealing but also rich in meaning and context.

I integrate the African philosophy of Ubuntu: I am because we are; in the materials, processes and stories that I create. 

I am a material, production and performance artist, with a background in civil engineering.

I create experiences and artworks that evoke conversations around mental health awareness, culture and feminine consciousness.

I combine multiple ways in which our senses and perceptions are influenced by spaces and stories.

I have worked on installations that involve transformation of spaces using waste materials such as Kilifi New Year installation ; ‘MEET GOD’, which upcycled thousands of plastic bottles into a tunnel installation under a tree ; with mirrors inside; a space of reflection and calmness during the festival frenzy.

I have worked as festival lead at Nairobi Design, which entails curating, coordinating and showcasing exceptional, unconventional experiences with the community in Kenya, and Afrika, while collaborating globally.

I believe that Nature is our greatest teacher, and with the creations I am part of, I strive to create cycles that regenerate and improve lives holistically.
