Nnyanzi told Muhumuza that he made Moonlight after Sunlight, a piece that’s also in this collection. These two exquisite works are masterpieces of composition and style, and they show why Nnyanzi is peerless at what he does. In Moonlight, however, some details change, like the shape of a woman’s breast that emerges as if unbidden, as if it’s the eye, so to speak, that watches over everything. Perhaps the big achievement in these pieces is how Nnyanzi is able to demonstrate control over his materials, so that, as night follows day, it is clear for everyone to see that moonlight follows sunlight.
