Kiluanji Kia Henda

In this work Henda used a traditional Angolan technique of visual storytelling to tell a universal story. He made the structures from metal and built them in the Al-Araz desert in Jordan. The buildings’ outlines are inspired by sand drawings (called sona) made by the Lunda Tchokwe people from eastern Angola. Drawing attention to the hundreds of square miles of half-constructed, abandoned and derelict areas of cities across the globe, he contrasts these failed building projects with the problem of widespread poverty and homelessness.
