Inspiration from Angolan traditional designs
He has been analysing mathematical properties of traditional ideo and pictograms of the Tchokwe population in Angola. These drawings were traditionally done in sand, and were used to illustrate stories the men told at evening gatherings, around the communal fires in the village or at hunting camps. Young boys would learn the easier stories and accompanying designs, but only the storytellers, who were highly esteemed for their knowledge, and formed an elite, knew many more.
