This painting is about the power of style as identity, and how women move through and command space.  I wanted to paint the feeling of stepping into owning one’s space and narrative, blending themes of identity, style, and personal power, using fasion as a way to show control over personal narratives and aesthetics. It features the Adkinra symbol 'Nkyimnkyim',  which represents the resilience and versatility needed to surf life's twisting nature.

LUDO GIRLS.

The "LUDO GIRLS." series draws inspiration from the classic game of Ludo, which we played often in my grandmother's house in Ghana. Ludo is largely  game of luck, where the goal is to go around the board and return home; for me it is reminiscent of the diasporan experience. Each painting in the series represents one of the four corners of the Ludo board, with distinct colors symbolizing individual journeys and identities. When displayed together, their differences are very clear, but when viewed separately, what stands out is how much they have in common—a reflection of the shared threads within diasporan stories.

This series speaks to the interplay of luck, identity, and the desire to find home. It's as much about individual uniqueness as it is about collective experience.
