'Owia Kokroko' (The Greatness of the Sun) Print

'Owia Kokroko' (Greatness of the Sun) A3 Print by Janina Nana Yaa on 160gsm paper

A depiction of a moment after whispering prayers and pouring water libation in Huia of the two Kereru who were intently watching me and standing bold within the blinding glare of the rising sun.
This Akan Adinkra 'Owia Kokroko' translates to 'the greatness of the Sun' in Asante Twi. The Sun brings us warmth, vitality and helps sustain all life on Earth. A symbol of renewal and protection.

Original drawing medium :
Ink pen and marker
