To speak of shells is to speak of Mombasa, part of the coastal region of Kenya where pristine white beaches meet the mesmerizing turquoise waves. Known locally as “the white and blue city”, Mombasa’s coral reefs, seafaring traditions and rich, shimmering customs add to the majestic, cresting waves and swaying palm trees. Stumbling upon an empty shell becomes an enchanting moment, filled with a sense of wonder and delight. Camo 24 captures the aquatic essence of shell collecting, exploring their structures, colors, patterns, pressing them to your ear once miles away from the ocean just to hear the echo of waves, allowing the listener to carry the magic of Mombasa with them wherever they go.
