Details

Vivid, block-like pictographs punctuate this visually electric West African strip-weave, with bold figural motifs—birds, fish, trees, diamonds, and human silhouettes—framed in sunburst orange. The balanced chromatic rhythm and precision of form evoke the textile traditions of the Ewe people, where storytelling and symbology are handwoven into each compartment. A celebration of abstraction and folklore, the piece pulses with folkloric charm and a pop-art sensibility rarely seen in such compact format.
