The "Load we carry" acrylic portrait painting series depicts African women carrying not only the physical weight of children and everyday items but also the unseen emotional load they bear. Inspired by the resilience and strength of Ghanaian women, this series aims to shed light on the often-overlooked inner struggles and emotional journeys they experience.

Each painting in the series presents a powerful portrayal of women in various poses, highlighting the physical load they carry on their heads, shoulders, or arms. The meticulous brushstrokes and vibrant colours of the acrylic medium bring these figures to life, capturing the beauty, grace, and determination of these women.

By shining a light on the inner emotional load carried by Ghanaian women, the series seeks to honour the strength, resilience, and depth of their experiences. It invites viewers to engage in a conversation about the intersection of gender, culture, and emotional well-being. Ultimately, the series aims to foster a greater understanding, appreciation, and empathy for the lived realities of these remarkable women.
