Okumu's work explores the potential of speculative design to deconstruct established societal norms and challenge deeply rooted assumptions. By employing theoretical frameworks from human psychology and Ugandan cultural studies, Okumu creates hypothetical artifacts and scenarios that question the taken-for-granted aspects of cultural existence. The intent is not to offer practical solutions, but to provoke critical reflection on the possible and the plausible, pushing the boundaries of conventional thought. Okumu's theoretical constructs examine themes of agency, collectivism, and power dynamics within invented societal contexts. These investigations are rooted in a careful, meticulous analysis of theoretical concepts, reinterpreting and recontextualizing them to challenge inherent preconceptions within abstract cultural narratives. Each theoretically crafted artifact serves as a thought experiment, a provocation designed to destabilize conventional thinking. Okumu does not shy away from controversial topics, but addresses them through an intellectual rigor, and a commitment to unveiling concealed biases behind theoretical socio-cultural constructs. Although the creative process abstains from interacting wih the real world, the theoretical implications of these conceptual designs are far-reaching, touching upon universal themes of human behavior and social organization. The goal is to encourage audiences to engage in critical discourse, reconsider their own assumptions, and embrace the ambiguity of alternative futures.
