Day 98: Exploring the Mali Empire's true legacy. We all know about Mansa Musa's gold, but the intellectual capital of Timbuktu was the real treasure. This piece was an experiment in visualizing that wisdom as something tangible—as valuable as gold itself.

Day 97: The Light of Aksum ✨
Visualizing the soul of the ancient Aksumite Empire. I used AI to "re-code" the Ge'ez script to glow with starlight & set it against a celestial aurora. A tribute to ancient knowledge.
