YUSUF MIRUMBE

SHA-referencing Kenya's Social Health Authority-captures a quiet moment of waiting within a public system. Three seated figures, elongated and still, hold a sense of patience, tension, and dignity. The composition is simple, but the repetition of form and the textured surface carry the weight. It's not dramatic-it's real. A reflection of everyday life, where policy meets people.
