Mami Wata sculpture which was created by David Oswald is complete and ready to be placed in her forever home at the Cameroon International Gardens Centennial project.
Mami Wata is Mother Water, Mother of Fishes, goddess of oceans, rivers and pools, with sources in West and Central Africa and tributaries throughout the African Americas, from Bahia to Brooklyn. Usually shown as a half-woman, half-fish, she slips with ease between incompatible elements: water and air, tradition and modernity, this life and the next. She runs through the Kumbo river in Cameroon.
