Makonde sculpture is not simply decorative woodwork. The human body, ancestry, community, spirituality and social relationships are recurring subjects. Artists use the physical properties of the wood to create complicated forms, movement and expressions.

The famous Ujamaa sculptures are particularly interesting because individual figures may appear physically connected to one another. The sculpture therefore becomes a visual representation of community and interdependence.
