We Belong Together by Fungai Dodzo is a monumental Shona sculpture carved from springstone. Standing 300 cm high, 125 cm wide, and 85 cm deep, it commands a powerful presence, making it ideal for garden display.

The sculpture depicts a gazelle family, two larger forms representing the adults and four smaller ones symbolizing the young. The figures all merged into a single, flowing composition. Their bodies intertwine gracefully, forming one unified structure that radiates connection, protection, and togetherness. The abstracted forms maintain the elegant posture and gentle curves of gazelles, while blending seamlessly into a cohesive whole.

Dodzo carves the springstone with remarkable precision and care. The dark, polished stone gives the piece a rich, smooth finish. The subtle variations in texture highlight different elements, such as the sleekness of the gazelles’ bodies and the transitions between each form. The strong vertical rise of the sculpture draws the eye upward. Enhancing its monumental feel while still capturing an intimate family bond.

Placed in a garden setting, We Belong Together interacts beautifully with its environment. Its organic shapes echo natural rhythms, while its emotional warmth invites viewers to reflect on themes of unity, love, and belonging.

Fungai Dodzo masterfully combines traditional Shona stone-carving techniques with contemporary expression. Creating a work that feels timeless, grounded, and deeply human.
