Eight years ago, the digital art world paused and watched as images of Maasai elders and warriors drifted across galaxies. The series, titled MaaSci — a fusion of the words Maasai and sci-fi — reimagined tradition not as relic, but as future. For creator Jackie Njeri, who now goes by the name San’aa Njeeri, the project became more than a visual experiment. It altered the course of her life. “MaaSci was so precious it fundamentally reordered my life’s trajectory,” she says.
