Kampah is so much more than dead flesh and bone today. Kampah is an idea, a dream dreamed and fulfilled. Kampah is an adventure you did not expect, a challenge won and one to face. Kampah – concludes the artist’s brother – is a concept, an ideal and as such it does not die but lives in the people who, like us, have known it.
