Jacque Njeri, @of_njeri a digital artist, has a project called Genesis; A MODERN FUTURISTIC INTERPRETATION OF A MATRIARCH INSPIRED BY THE GIKUYU MYTH OF ORIGIN in which she outlines 4 of the 9+daughters ( Kenda Mūiyūru) from a more modern futuristic perspective ImageImageImageImage
Beginning with Nyambura, Wanjiru, Waceera, and Wangũi, we feature her work. Her work is both a short narrative of the daughters and a contemporary visual (photos) of the daughters.
Nyambura
✓ 5th daughter of Gĩkũyũ & Mũmbi and the matriarch of the Ambura/Ethaga
✓ Believed to have control over weather: Causing / stopping rain, controlling the atmosphere making her pretty much Storm’s ancestor.
✓ The Ambura also possessed other supernatural powers Image
