Details

The Akan civilization believed that each child came from God, and so each baby was born with a special blessing. This traditional belief initiated the Ghanaian day naming system, which gives a unique name to a child born on a particular day of the week, signaling their spiritual traits. Motivated by this custom, artist Emmanuel Atiemoh Yeboah puts his talent into practise and creates this cotton batik wall art, whose stars, moon details and traditional motifs in red, purple and black hues represent the souls born on Sunday, the day of those who connect with the universe.
