Elizabeth Sekyiamah creates abstract figurative images that capture the daily rituals of her life in Ghana. Yellow Sa Synchro brings abstract expressions of movements and patterns associated with domestic rituals together with figurative images of three women. These are representations of Sekyiamah, her mother and sister working at home, as well as generalized depictions of Black women. Sekyiamah considers her work to be feminist in its outlook, as it celebrates in an egalitarian manner the roles women play in uplifting society. Every mark, shape, pattern, form, and gesture speaks to the rituals of Sekyiamah’s life in Ghana. “My work is about domestic lives,” says Sekyiamah. “It’s inspired by daily actions, me waking up, working, everything we do. It’s continuous. Visually it repeats itself. I pick my colors from things around me. That’s where my inspiration is from. Bright colors represent happy moments, dark colors represent something else.”
