This collection stemmed from grief from witnessing severely polluted rivers that have been a result of recent years of galamsey, the Twi term for illegal gold mining. I collected oral narratives from locals to learn about the significance of local water bodies as it relates to indigenous deities, past/present colonialism and current environmental impact. I worked with local ceramicists who taught me how to throw freshly picked, coarse clay. This collection draws inspiration from domestic objects, jewelry and organic form to explore traditional narratives that reinforce the relationship between the body and natural environment as it relates to a sense of home.
