Artform: Sculpture
This Ghanaian environmental artist has created his installation out of waste plastic bottles, copper wires, discarded sandals, scraps of paper and nylon, different coloured umbrellas and a broken computer. In all there are around 400 pieces which make up the sculpture. "My works are known to provoke debates, create curiosity, educate, and cause psychological findings through a world of creative ideas that bring discussion, without using conventional ink on paper," he says.
