Story Behind the Art

This sculpture is created by artisans from SMOLArt, a Fair Trade Federation member based in Tabaka, Kenya. In this region, soapstone carving is both a heritage and a livelihood. The stone is mined locally, then transformed using traditional hand tools and polished to a smooth finish with natural wax. SMOLArt ensures artisans are paid fairly and helps fund community initiatives in education, health, and infrastructure.
