Meet Abdul, an earthbag builder whose hands shape not just homes, but stories, landscapes, and ways of living that honor the earth itself. Born in Sierra Leone and now rooted in Thiès, Senegal, Abdul brings a rare blend of craftsmanship, creativity, and deep respect for the land to every project he touches.

A lifelong artist at heart, Abdul sees the world through many lenses. As a photographer, he captures the quiet beauty of everyday moments. As a painter, he transforms color and form into emotion. And as an earth artist, he brings all those passions together—crafting natural structures that feel grounded, organic, and alive.

Earthbag building is more than a technique for Abdul; it’s a philosophy. Each curve, contour, and hand-packed layer reflects a commitment to sustainability, simplicity, and harmony with nature. His work celebrates the strength of natural materials, the wisdom of ancestral building traditions, and the joy of creating homes that breathe with the environment.

Whether he's raising walls from the earth beneath your feet, shaping a dome that blends into the horizon, or documenting the beauty around him, Abdul builds with intention, humility, and artistry.
