Nduwhite started developing some series of site installations from a body of work in January 2008 titled “AHAMEFULA”. His first site installation “In the beginning of time” was about our time and generation, it was about movements, revolutions, evolutions, emancipation, human development and discovery, clash of civilizations, cultural conflicts, moral and ethical bias, spirituality and the society, apocalyptic nightmares and the hopes for a new enlightenments.

Ahamefula for him is his expressive odyssey…a constant thrill and on-going search for meaning.
