GOD'S EYEBROW
Digital Collage & Illustration, 2025
GOD'S EYEBROW is a direct homage and love letter to the LGBTQ+ community of Ghana. The woven kente pattern used for the background is the nyankonton design, which translates to the piece's name and represents the beauty of the rainbow. In response to recent legislations which criminalize queerness in this post-colonial world, GOD'S EYEBROW is a reminder that, while not historically labeled “queer”, the fluidity of human expression and connection is woven in our DNA. A reminder that being one's full self is a form of ancestral veneration, and a way to pave the path for when we are ancestors ourselves.
"Artists connected to Hyde Park reflected their love for the community in the artworks, which will be on display at the 53rd and 55th street viaducts for at least three years... Jurors from the Hyde Park and South Side Community art centers reviewed about 600 submissions, which were whittled down to 30 finalists before the 19 artworks were selected."
