Title of Artwork: "Sunday Best"
Art Description: The inspiration from this piece stemmed from the women in my family and how much they dress themselves up as means of expressing themselves and our Ghanaian culture. My reference for this piece was a photo of my aunt back home in Ghana, someone who I really admire and her sense of style reflects her personality. She is very outgoing, fun to be around and energetic and I really wanted the colours of her outfit and headscarf to reflect that. I titled the piece 'Sunday Best"; as the term refers to when someone is dressed in their best clothes, often for special occasions. Here I illustrated my aunt to be in her "Sunday Best" as she is someone that I know loves to look and feel their best. Something i resonate with myself.
