While other Shona sculptors share this form of abstraction, his style and creativity are distinctly his. He tends to use a single continuously painted brush stroke in his treatment of the stone.

His distinctive use of form and fluid line gives this piece an inner life that is emotionally and aesthetically evocative. Ndongwe maintains a perfect visual balance in every scultpure, expressed in both the negative and positive spaces of the piece. This sculpture from his "Family Series" is emotionally charged and reflects the inner rhythm of family love, tenderness, and unity. less
