The Maasai tribe has always been known for their strength and bravery as well as their vibrant dress and colorful beadwork but what many people do not know is that each color bead represents a different aspect of the Maasai culture. The colors I have used in this project represent the following:
Red: Represents bravery, strength, unity and the incredible challenges maasai people face each day
Blue: Symbolizes energy and sustenance and the color of the sky which provides water for the people and their cattle
Yellow: Symbolizes fertility and growth, representing the color of the sun which helps grow the grass to feed the livestock and sustain life
