Graphic art

Aburi Nangou lived in a vibrant coastal village. She was a cheerful and expressive soul whose presence always brought a smile to everyone's faces. Her passion and talent lay in decorating houses, and she had the gift of conveying profound meanings through her artworks.

Aburi's creations were like lively stories on the walls of the houses. She primarily used triangular patterns representing gourd shards, which, according to tradition, kept death at bay. These symbols provided residents and passersby with a sense of safety and protection. However, her creativity extended beyond mere protection; she understood the deeper meanings of the symbols and used them to bring positive energy into the homes.

Aburi knew that the power of her art went beyond aesthetics. She created specific diamond-shaped patterns reminiscent of fishing nets. These patterns were meant to ensure a bountiful catch for the local fishermen. The diamonds symbolized abundance and prosperity, and Aburi hoped they would bless the residents with a plentiful haul.
