Slatted & Open Cabinet Ritual Ensemble - Maasai Layers of Breath – 'Enkátá Oltau' (Gathering Ground).

Contain rhythm. Weave access. Ground ancestral layering. This sculptural cabinet draws from the Maasai concept of Oltau—gathering ground, where compartments become ritual and textures become echo. It’s a layered offering of tactile clarity, terrain mapping, and ceremonial containment.

Crafted in natural wood with visible grain, the cabinet features three distinct zones: open shelving for visibility and offering, a slatted door for breath and rhythm, and a solid door for grounding and concealment. The round knob adds a sculptural touch, while the short legs elevate the piece in terrain balance.
