There are just so many challenges that Mukuru residents face.

And I remember when you called me, it was sad to know what had happened to you, but at least we knew that you needed some help.

So we're here to see your new studio.

All right.

Have to go up the stairs?

Wow, this gives you a view of the area.

Wow.

This is much more spacious and much more natural light.

And we get a cool breeze.

The previous studio used to get a bit heated up in the sun.

Now here you don't need any air conditioning.

So right at the corner is the main artwork going on.

Tell us about this sneaker.

I can see it's still in black and white.

So when I look at this portrait, I see a version of you that is more grown up, luxurious, and experiencing soft life.

There's just a lot of work you're doing here using chalk and pastel and your signature eggshells.

You've already coloured them pink, purple, yellow, green, all the colours of the rainbow.

Are there also works you've done that's related to the fire incident that you've experienced?

Oh, so there's pink flames.

I noticed that in your new studio plants have become a big addition.
