I envision this to be a healing photo series, where the two “West Coasts” of Africa and America meet at one place, where the Diaspora meets the Domestic, where the world is shared with the world one photo and face at a time. The Faces of Ghana photo series reveals the happiness that many Americans do not see of Africa. The Places of Ghana photo series reveals the paradox of visual beauty and historical brutality felt at the remnant castles of the West African slave trade. I provide short captions of my reflections and feelings for each photo to bring you along the journey with me.
You will see grandmothers, uncles, sisters, cousins and more in the faces showcased. In essence, this series serves as a place of reunion for families of the Diaspora.
