Harvest of the Soul
Visual Arts
Title: Harvest of the soul Dimension: 12 x 20 inches Medium: Mixed media on paper Year of creation: 2025 “Harvest of the Soul” reflects on the essence of cultural harvest — the gathering of wisdom, tradition, and creativity passed down through generations. A bowed head mirrors into the shape of Africa, symbolizing reflection and reverence for ancestral roots. From it grows a tree of life, representing the flourishing of heritage and the fruits of collective memory. Beneath, colorful dancers celebrate unity and identity — embodying the rhythm and joy of cultural abundance. The surrounding spirals and dots echo the cycles of time and renewal, reminding us that culture, like nature, must be tended and shared. This work celebrates Africa as fertile ground for the soul, where memory becomes seed, identity becomes growth, and creativity becomes the harvest.
Ancestral Harvest
Visual Arts
Title: Ancestral Harvest Size: 16 x 24 inches Medium: Mixed Media on paper Year of creation: 2025 “Ancestral Harvest” is a celebration of heritage, spirit, and the unbroken rhythm of cultural continuity. The intertwined African masks represent the living faces of ancestry — guardians of memory, wisdom, and creativity. Their intricate markings and sacred geometry speak of stories once whispered by elders, now reborn through art. Around them, symbolic forms — Adinkra motifs, cowrie shells, hearts, and festive icons — bloom like seeds of history and hope. They remind us that every generation gathers from the soil of tradition and sows new expressions of identity. This artwork is an offering — a visual prayer of gratitude to the ancestors who planted the roots of culture, and to the creators who continue to make it blossom. “Ancestral Harvest” invites us all to remember that culture is not inherited; it is cultivated — through love, remembrance, and creation.
The Dark Taint
Visual Arts
This artwork is a piece of my heart and artistic vision to suppress pains and psychological trauma and that of others struggling with it. The beautiful lady in the drawing with a half cloudy head which represents confusion and trouble; it covers the unseen emotions in her eyes and sends a deep message of psychological trauma and sorrow caused by depression and distress of life. Her mouth holds a lit cigarette which is used as a dose to cure and take her pain away. The lit cigarette releases smoke that contains deadly cocktail of toxins which can affect the lady and they people around her as illustrated in connection with the plain white colored people that’s eight in number walking along the lady’s shirt who inhale this harmful toxins from the cigarette she smokes, eventually making them uncomfortable to the point of chasing them away and difficult to breath. The white dots on the black shirt at random illuminates adornment and beautification.
