Ghanaian artist Mawunya Charway selects a bold palette of black and white for this elegant composition. In the center, an adinkra symbol tells a story. Funtunfunefu denkyemfunefu represents Siamese crocodiles, he explains. For me, it shows how difficult it is for us to share. The two crocodiles have the same stomach but still struggle over the same food forgetting that together they have but one stomach. To the left, akoma ntoaso (extension of the heart) means understanding, agreement or charter. To the right, nkonsonkonson (chain links) symbolizes unity and human relations. Sharing is caring. We need to share with our fellows, the artist says.
