CM-IDENTITY

Henry Kirungi , 2022 , Kampala

This art piece represents the COVID-19 pandemic portrait. The mask has become a constant in all portraits as it’s a standard operation procedure. It has made many lose and gain identity and expressions have gone silent. On the streets of Kampala, the mask is a tool of expression for the love of fashion. This love of fashion is headlined by the trend of the “kitengi” cloth masks. Since everybody wants to be liked in the current generation, a portrait in a fashionably appealing mask is an addition.
