Crafted with intention and rooted in storytelling, this hand-sculpted papier-mâché figure captures a familiar village scene: Papa on his bicycle, firewood strapped securely as he journeys to market.
Made by Zambian folk artist Chrispen, each piece is layered by hand using recycled paper and wire, then painted with vibrant color and meticulous detail. From the textured wheels to the natural wood bundle on the back, every element reflects real-life memory and movement.
