A sculptural work by Terence Koh, *My Swahili Years* brings together bronze, paint, wire, and mineral oil in a layered meditation on memory, identity, and cultural displacement. The combination of industrial and organic materials creates a tension between permanence and fluidity, as the mineral oil lends a visceral, bodily quality to the rigid metal forms. The work reflects Koh's signature poetic sensibility, weaving together autobiography and myth in a form that feels both intimate and archeologically distant.
