Taking shape

The Emissary

It began with a conversation with my mother about her life as a diplomat. It became a question about what we carry into the world.

Behind the symbol · Relevance

Nyansapo

Wisdom knot

Wisdom, resourcefulness and patience. The knot invites thoughtful understanding.

An Adinkra symbol from Akan visual tradition, appearing on the artwork for Relevance.

Why I chose it

Relevance is a conversation with the wise part of yourself. I chose Nyansapo, the wisdom knot, because the wisdom we seek lives within us, bound to who we are, as our soul is. The song is an invitation to listen to that wisdom.
