Mbugua’s long-standing series Back to the Future (2018-2024), explores the “age of life”, childhood and child-rearing practices, youth and adolescence.
The series is inspired by the artist’s kinship with his niece and nephews, whose contemporary life cycles mirrors the artist’s own upbringing in Nairobi.
