The Paradox of Beauty.

Questions: "Where is this woman from? There is no ethnic group which dresses exactly like that, wears such jewelry, and appears this way! Her jewelry is from Kenya, her clothes are from Mali, and her features -- perhaps Ethiopian? It’s a beautiful image, yes, but it’s incorrect."

It isn’t long before more "incorrect" cultural combinations are discovered within Kitamirike’s works. But this image of "incorrect" cultural combinations is the image of contemporary Africa and Africans.
