About this artwork
This artwork originates from my art residency in Abetenim, Ghana (2013), where I spent one month immersed in the village life, while giving art workshops to local school classes, from young children to teenagers. During this residency, I developed the photographic project 'Ghana Portraits', which later generated some derivative works, including drawings.
Abetenim was a small village of about 500 inhabitants, with no running water or electricity.… Five different religions coexisted there, a remarkable diversity for such a small community. This work portrays a man praying inside a church, seen from the outside, a scene that reflects the universality of prayer across religions and even beyond them in moments of need. This dip-pen drawing was made on delicate special paper and integrates Adinkra symbols into the composition, referencing the rich and beautiful Ashanti symbolic language. Framed Size: 50x58,5 cm

As an artist, I am interested in the visible and invisible forces that shape individual and collective experience, particularly how environments, social systems, and belief structures influence perception, behavior, and forms of belonging. My work examines how these forces operate through what is shown and what remains hidden, and how divisions are constructed through fear, prejudice, and exclusion.
I approach my practice as an inquiry into tension: between visibility and concealment, separation and interconnectedness, surface and depth, detail and totality. Working across painting and mixed media, I experiment with the collision and combination of techniques and materials. Through processes of layering, interruption, and material testing, I explore transformation and shifts across media as ways of questioning how meaning is formed and destabilized.
