«Akwaba» means «welcome» in the African Twi language spoken by the Akan people in Ghana and the Ivory Coast. The term "Akwaba" also has a creative meaning. In the ancient Akan mythology, the fertility figure Akwaba is revered as the creator mother of the earth. The works reflect about Africa as the origin of the world, but also question the creative power of humans and the gap between modernity and tradition that meet in the big cities of Africa.
