As the day draws to an end, fishermen inspect their boats and nets to ensure they are in working condition for the following day. But they won't go out to sea on Tuesdays, says Ghanaian artist Samuel Ashong. It is a long-held belief by the fishing community that Tuesday is a day of rest, both for humans and for the sea. Should anyone be caught fishing on a Tuesday, they will be heavily fined and special rituals will have to be performed in order to pacify the sea. Ashong masters batik techniques to create this admirable composition. Arrives with a manila card paper mat board.
