NEW LIFE NATIVITY FROM BURKINA FASO

Burkina Faso, West Africa
Recycled metal, nuts and bolts
2014

Artisans transformed old nuts, bolts, and scraps of metal into this Nativity, giving “new life” to discarded materials. While Burkina Faso is predominantly Muslim, roughly 26% of the population practices Christianity, including Roman Catholic and various Protestant denominations.
