Imitation of Life catalogue 2021

BOWALE BRUCE Catalogue 2021

About the work In this works I truly capture the fascinating everyday moments of life and especially that of children which give reminiscence to my previous generation of style and the ways I grew up.

I am intrigued about how language and communication plays a vital role in the growth and self-realisation of children. I strives to influence a culture of reading within the African communities.
