Freedom of the Skies

It's early morning and the seagulls have the beach to themselves. I approach cautiously, enjoying their apparent disregard for this earthbound human who often desperately wishes to join them in their effortless "Freedom of flight".

IT'S NOT JUST A BICYCLE...

One of the things that struck me on my first visit to Tanzania, was the importance of the humble bicycle in every day African life...

A bicycle can change a life in a poor country... It not only offers a sense of freedom (not to mention ‘status’) to rural villagers but is also a means of providing access to work, education and even healthcare.

Taking a trip around the small island of Zanzibar, I saw how much the inhabitants rely on bicycles for getting firewood, the day's catch, a basket of coconuts or even a friend; home… Owning a bicycle can have a substantial impact on the lives of Africa's rural poor. This artwork is a tribute to the 'baiskeli' that has brought about such significant changes in the lives of many African people.

* Note: 'baiskeli' is the Swahili word for 'bicycle'.
