These drawings and paintings operate as both studies and autonomous artworks, serving as a framework through which I examine the visual and social dynamics of Ghana’s vibrant, bustling, and chromatically rich street environments. While conceived as sketches, their formal and conceptual resolution allows them to exist as completed works that contribute meaningfully to my broader artistic inquiry.
