The Ubuntu Bowl depicts a circle of women holding hands around the rim of the wheel thrown pottery bowl in a spirit of unity. They wear their traditional headscarves and have their babies tied to their backs in typical African fashion.
The word UBUNTU means “the belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity.” “I am what I am because of who we all are” In Africa, the definition of an individual is community based and not individualist. The Ubuntu bowls with their women holding hands in a spirit of Ubuntu, represent this philosophy.
