Poverty

More quotes by Cyrus Kabiru

To me, being an Afrofuturist is a mix of creativity from different continents

I can’t live without doing what I am doing. No art, no life

I wanted to create that identity where when you see me, you see my work

I love nature and that's the reason I work with recycled material

I’m lucky that what I am doing is what I was dreaming
