About

In a world where every piece of art has its story, my journey as a creator is deeply intertwined with the meaning of my name, Baliwe, which directly translates to "to be counted." My name resonates profoundly with me, reflecting my belief that to be counted is to be seen, acknowledged, considered and ultimately loved. Each piece I create carries this essence, embodying the desire for connection and the warmth of shared experiences.

At UBaliwe, I strive to craft more than just functional art; I aim to create vessels of love and memory. Each creation is a canvas where my soul and heart are poured into the piece, allowing me to leave a part of myself in every creation. I envision my work as bridges between people, facilitating moments of joy and togetherness as they are shared among families and friends.

I hope that when my pieces find their way into homes, they become cherished items that hold stories of laughter, celebrations, and pleasant memories alike. I want my work to be a part of the beautiful tapestry of life, creating connections between those who use them and the loved ones they gather around. Each time someone chooses a piece from UBaliwe, they are not just acquiring a work of art; they are embracing a message of love, connection, and remembrance.

In sharing my work, I am privileged to witness the joy they bring to others. It is a profound honor to know that my creations can foster relationships, spark conversations, and create lasting memories. With every piece, I invite you to be part of this journey, to be seen and to be loved —UBaliwe.
