Story Behind the Art:

Carved from Kisii soapstone, found only in the hills of southwestern Kenya, each compass sculpture is a one-of-a-kind creation. The soapstone is mined by hand using traditional tools, and skilled artisans transform the raw stone into a symbolic work of art through meticulous hand-carving, sanding, and polishing. This centuries-old craft not only preserves cultural heritage but also provides fair trade employment opportunities in artisan communities.
