"Aesthetically, I'm inspired by the social economic conditions of everyday Ghanaians, so I borrow from the texture, the color and the patterns from everyday objects like trotros, the most common means of local transportation in Kumasi. Trotro culture is a very vibrant and colorful scene which has a lot of interesting stories within the space."  - Caleb Kwarteng Prah
