12x24, acrylic and spray paint on canvas. 2021

My final protea in the collection of 6. It’s different. No Adinkra symbol to associate. It’s riding solo. There’s always one in the group does it’s own thing. I come from a family of 6, so I know.

This king protea vibrates with that orange-red energy that keeps you active, charged up. It’s floating in graffiti space but grounded in the deep purple stems. It allows itself to be pushed by the motion of the spraypaint; going with the flow, being free.
