Thandiwe Muriu: Every Bird Flies with Its Own Wings

Every Bird Flies with Its Own Wings is a celebration of the diversity of womanhood. Each portrait in the exhibition captures a unique expression of feminine identity — resilient, joyful, imperfect, powerful. From ancestral wisdom to everyday rituals, from personal memory to collective strength, each piece by Thandiwe Muriu portrays women not as a singular ideal but as a constellation of lived experiences. Through color, symbolism, and storytelling, the series reminds us that there is no one way to be a woman—each voice, each path, each beauty stands fully in its own truth.
