After a hard day's work, a man relaxes in the shade of a palm tree. He is lost in contemplation in this beautiful hand carved wall panel by Abdul Aziz Mohamadu. "This is to express the need to isolate yourself and take stock of your life," he says. The artisan names this relief sculpture Ma Brabo, an Akan word which means "My Life."
