Mwinda · Twelve Flames Tee No. 03

Twelve Flames

Mwinda · Twelve Flames Tee No. 03

from £29.90

Some fires roar. This one keeps. The Mwinda tee carries the flame of the lamp: a calm ivory light resting in a thin gold crescent, held inside a deep indigo night. It is the piece for the ones who tend: the parent up at dawn, the friend who stays, the steady hand that keeps a house warm without asking for applause. An embroidery-style print medallion in lunar ivory on an indigo disc, ringed in beadwork, with the word MWINDA on the banner.

The story of the design

What it means

Mwinda means lamp, light, in Lingala. In the album Kimuntu (Bana Bilaka World Sound), Flame No. 03 names the state of quiet keeping: the light you protect so that others can find their way home. The indigo night around the flame is not a threat; it is the reason the lamp matters. Word note: common Lingala usage; the twelve flames and their numbering are the creation of the album Kimuntu.

Part of Collection 04 · The Twelve Flames. Flame No. 03 · The Lamp. Twelve flames, named in Kikongo and Lingala: the states of being the album Kimuntu travels through.
