Story Behind the Art

Handcrafted by village artisans in Haiti from recycled 55-gallon steel drums, each piece of art is a unique masterpiece. The transformation from metal sheets to beautiful artwork is meticulously done by hand. Originally used to transport oil to Haiti's capital, these steel drums are carefully cut, cleaned by burning off residual oil, and flattened to create stunning upcycled art pieces. Perfect for both indoor and outdoor settings, these artworks bring a touch of creativity and sustainability to any space.

Given the handmade nature of this product please allow for minor variations. As the metal is recovered from recycled oil drums and colored through a burning process it will vary slightly in coloration. Typically the piece has a darkened steel patina. If hand-painted, exact colors may vary, which speaks to the one-of-a-kind nature of each piece. Each piece of metal art whether painted or natural is coated with a layer of clear coat to help protect the metal.

Usage Suggestions:

Place this Hamsa Hand in your home or workspace to invite its protective energy and add a touch of cultural elegance to your decor. Whether displayed alone or as part of a curated collection, it serves as a meaningful reminder of unity, protection, and artistic expression.
