Githan Coopoo was a force.

A sculptor, self-taught jewellery designer, and visionary, Coopoo’s clay-based practice redefined how we see material and identity. His work carried quiet rebellion, tenderness, and an unwavering sense of self, using text to communicate simple but pointed messages etched onto ceramics or inscribed across larger sculptural forms.

His untimely passing leaves a profound silence in the creative landscape he so fearlessly expanded. In commemorating him, we remember not just the art he made, but the beauty he insisted upon in being unapologetically himself.

As we honour his legacy and mourn his loss, our thoughts are with his family and loved ones during this challenging time. May they find comfort in the depth of his impact and the beauty he left behind.
