Client: State of Cameroon

Two monumental lions guarding the entrance of Nsimalen International Airport in Yaounde. Commissioned by the State of Cameroon, they embody the ancestral totem of the Grassfields — one looks towards the airport, the other watches over the capital.

Client: Cameroonian administration

Standing on the central square of Nkongsamba, this monument shows an eagle with outstretched wings holding a football in its talons — a symbol of strength, sporting pride and the identity of a town nicknamed “the city of eagles”.

Client: Presidency of the Republic of Cameroon

Commissioned by the Presidency of the Republic together with the family of the deceased, this monument pays tribute to René Jam Afane, who wrote the lyrics of Cameroon's national anthem. A life-size statue on a black granite base.

Client: City of Buea

The sacred elephant of the Bakweri, the indigenous people of Buea. While it was being made, elderly women spontaneously brought bananas and kola nuts to NOUMSI. The Njoku is the very symbol of the Bakweri people, guardian of an age-old cosmology and of the mystical night-time Maale dance.

Client: Elites & people of Bamenda

The traditional town crier of North West Cameroon, erected for the University Games in Bamenda. Sent by the Fon, the Town Crier spreads the chief's decrees by striking his double gong — a symbol of the mystical African communication described by Prof. Jacques Fame Ndongo.
