Mugerwa Klockars works intuitively, allowing the process itselft guide him forward. There is a recurring feeling in his work of reaching out one’s hands to receive something fragile, gently and with care. He returns to this gesture often both physically and emotionally as a way of reflecting on protection, intimacy, and the fear of losing something. By weaving together different materials and techniques, he creates space for different parts of himself to meet, reconcile, and strengthen one another. Repairing and stitching things together holds deep significance for him, both materially and emotionally.  

When he sews together images, books, and collages, it often feels as though he is seeing the work a new, as if the act of mending allows something hidden to surface. Working slowly by hand, giving each millimeter his full attention, becomes an act of care and presence. Sewing is, for him, away of processing and healing almost as if he were stitching together a wounded body. Through these gestures of mending and assembling, he explores how vulnerability can exist alongside strength, and how care itself can become a form of resistance against erasure of Black interiority.
