Ceramic and mirror mosaic diverted from landfill

The Life Center, Maun, Botswana

Created as Headlining International Artist at the Okavango Art Exchange, I mentored 10–12 residents of Botswana in the process of fabricating large-scale architectural mosaics through the creation of this mural. It was completed in under 10 days.

The left wall translates to my mantra of “Need Less Give More.” The right wall is an abridged version of Life Center’s mission, translating to “loving people, changing lives, sharing hope for the future.”
