A beautiful shot of this installation in the rain. "It was as if the ancestors were weeping in anticipation of the painful journey ahead. In my studio where I created these sculptures for the @ancestorproject they were revered and treated with so much love. I told my assistants and volunteers as well as my studio visitors who these people were and they also accorded them with due respect and admiration. At the Kwame Nkrumah Park they are facing a new kind of admiration in the form of touching, probing, and countless selfies that I can imagine they feel like they are in a human zoo. Interesting to note that elderly Ghanaians got the symbolism right away without any need for explanation but the ancestors are having a hard time relating to the youth of this generation. But there is hope because this generation is so curious. I spoke to so many art lovers of all races who related to the installation's questions for humanity." via @shegelu #osramba #osrambamedia #kwameakoto#kwamenkrumahpark #ghana #ghanaart#ancestors
