A bold geometric painting inspired by Nkyinkyim, an Adinkra symbol of the Akan people of Ghana meaning "twisting." Rooted in the proverb "the journey of life is twisted," Nkyinkyim represents adaptability, resilience, and the initiative needed to navigate life's unpredictable turns. Rendered here as interlocking bars of warm yellow and burnt orange, the piece translates the symbol's traditional winding form into a striking, architectural composition, capturing its spirit of dynamism through structure and repetition rather than literal curves. Part of an ongoing series exploring Adinkra symbolism through paint.
Original artwork, acrylic on mineral paper.
