In an interview with Arts&Culture, he explained that his first craft was a torch made from a Nokia phone battery and an empty bottle of a hair relaxer powered by a 5v DC adapter. “In a nutshell my art and craft is all about recycling, upcycling waste materials and turning them into masterpieces.
From childhood I had no inspiration, it was all passion. It was something I loved and enjoyed doing dearly until I reached my teenagehood era where I now got to see other creatives and it broadened my touch on what I was doing. It gave me inspiration and confidence and one of the creatives happened to be my father. He inspired me through his work (sic),” he explained. Selema further pointed out that his father was also a craftsman who made metal works such as trailers, donkey carts and many other crafts he has done. He said in that sense, he was inspired to start something of his own that he would enjoy making.
