A vivid and textured scene rendered in acrylic and glitter, Cassi Namoda's *Meat is Meat* (2018) captures the bustling energy of a market exchange with bold, expressive brushwork and luminous embellishment. Namoda's signature narrative style draws on Mozambican life and memory, grounding the composition in themes of commerce, sustenance, and everyday human ritual. The addition of glitter lends the scene an unexpected shimmer, elevating the mundane into something quietly ceremonial.
