Crouching amongst virtual grasses, a figure begins the process of transcendence, moving from solid form into a wireframe model, whose outstretched arms hint at ascension. Behind them, made from the same liquid metal, a gate stands on cloven hooves, recalling a majestic staff with antlers grown into an interdimensional portal.

Originally shown as part of the exhibition POWERPLAY at Arebyte Gallery in association with the The National Gallery of Zimbabwe, It Was A Mix Of Things (2020) comprised a sound piece, sculpture, a bespoke rug and PVC banner. From this exercise in world building, Makumbe has created a new print edition, Some Things (2020), for Vacation at the End of the World showing a before unseen perspective.
