Jonathan Kenworthy’s first trip to Kenya was in 1965 and soon after he began creating sculptures of East African Nomads, captivated by their independent spirit and resilient nature. The sculpture depicts three Samburu people, a Nilotic group of north-central Kenya and are semi-nomadic pastoralists. They stand beneath the quintessential acacia tree, known for its resilient adaptability.
