In Kongo cosmology, the basimbi are water spirits that guard the threshold between the living world and the ancestral one. This artwork reflects on returning to a hometown and staying much longer than expected. You realize that people have grown older and you missed out on moments with friends. Sadly, you cannot travel back in time, so these memories become blended. But you can decide what happens next. That return becomes a call that tests your courage. The world tells you not to look away, but to look into yourself.
