This a Ghanaian Akan (Twi) proverb. It all begins in obscurity. Nothing about this child yet announces greatness no crowd, no title, no throne. Greatness does not announce its arrival. It often begins in silence, in overlooked spaces, in children who are simply allowed to be. What we see here is not the height of a life, but its beginning the unseen foundation of someone the world may one day call great.

"My work explores the multilayered parts of blackness, through a Ghanaian lens. I use colors and brushstrokes to tell stories about the playful nature of West African masculinity, its influences on the African diaspora, and the forms it takes. My Christian faith while not explicit seeps into my work, through themes, titles and sometimes motifs."
