Orange-Handled Basket Quartet with Fringe Accents - Circle of Color & Containment – Enkito e Emayian (Step of Celebration).

More than a storefront—this ensemble is a woven invocation of rhythm, readiness, and ancestral joy.

Introducing the Enkito e Emayian Circle of Color & Containment: four cylindrical baskets with bold orange handles, each tightly woven from natural fibers and placed in rhythmic formation on a tiled sidewalk. Behind them, a curated interior reveals stacked vessels and circular fringe décor, transforming containment into ceremony and color into chant.
