Story Behind the Art:
Each sculpture is artfully hand-carved from a single piece of Kisii soapstone， found only in the hills of southwestern Kenya. Mining the soapstone from surface hills is a labor-intensive process， using little to no machinery. Laborers works with shovels， picks， axes and machetes to carve out large soapstone chucks， which are then carved into beautiful art. ?
