Kinara Light

The kinara on the mkeka with the harvest and the unity cup: each section of the song lights the next candle in order, and every flame dances to its own part of the spectrum.

Classic Studio

Seven Principles

The seven candles stand alone, each with a column of light for its band, and can carry the name of the principle it honours.

Classic Studio

Woven Bands

A hanging cloth of original woven strips that lights up as a spectrum from its centre line, the weave rippling with the mids.

Classic Studio

Harvest Table

A calm close view of the harvest, the corn and the unity cup on the mkeka, lit by the kinara behind them. Made for spoken word and podcasts.

Classic Studio

Unity Glow

Seven rings of warm light around your cover art or the unity cup, one ring for each principle, lit through the song.

Classic Studio

Community Rings

Circles of small lights around a kinara that join hands, light by light, as the song goes on.
