Ubuntu

This piece was part of the exposition in the Dutch Design Hotel Artemis (April 2021 – October 2021). Now it’s back home again and available for purchase!

The theme of the exposition is “Earth” and this piece is called Ubuntu. Loosely translated, Ubuntu means “I am because we are” or “Humanity towards others”. A commonly used definition is “The belief in a universally shared covenant that unites all of humanity.” Everyone is equal and deserves respect.

This globe is made with MDF, Gesso, Acrylic paint, Floetrol, Water and finished with varnish. The diameter is 70 cm and it weighs 5 kg.

Let me know if you would like a customized piece, for example with other colours, gold leaf or gem stones. Just send me an email and we will talk about your wishes.
