"In Ghana we continue to have traditional ways of doing business, which are very effective and mainly done by women. They carry their wares on their heads, trays of fruits and foods, which they sell on the street or from door to door.

He masters batik techniques to portray six women carrying trays filled with fruits and food. Arrives with a manila card paper mat board.
