Adam Yawe is an object storyteller based in Kenya. Adam’s practice traverses the mediums of street photography, 2D graphics, 3D modeling, 3D printing, product design, print publications, and exhibition making.   

In his work, he seeks out reference objects in the city, acknowledges the role they play in the present, connects them to the past, and reimagines them for the future. His interests lie in telling stories and building archives, aiming to light a spark in the audience that changes their relationship with these objects and, ultimately, the city.
