I thought I was making images.
Then stories appeared.
Then symbols.
Now I'm not completely sure what this is.
Somewhere there are fifty-four countries.
For now, that feels important.
The rest I am still figuring out.

I was born in Accra, GH. I am left-handed, and in Akan benkum means the left hand. This is the hand I create with.
Everything here is rooted in this continent. I come from a place where culture moves a person, and that is what I look for: not the headline, but the small human gesture underneath it. I start from what I feel, and let that be the guide.
I’ve loved art in all its forms for as long as I can remember, and always meant to one day pick up the tools myself. The means change from work to work - paint, draw, direct.
I don’t know exactly where this is going. That is the part I love. The work will continue as long as there is time.
The last line above, yɛn kɔ, means “let’s go.” Consider this the invitation.
Now — Cycle I
One real event from each of Africa’s fifty-four countries, in the order feeling leads me, never returning to the same country twice. AI finds the stories, I bring the feeling, it brings the world, I decide what stays.
