”Connection” was a drastic difference from the triangular book;
its narrow horizontal format gave me a more intimate space to work with. I was
inspired by the three-dimensionality of the previous entries as well as the
ceramic image and box that it came in. So I decided to use a symbol that
appears in my art as the repetitive image. I often use the crocodile in my work
inspired by Adinkra Philosophy and symbols. The crocodile serves as an
intercession to the spirit world as protection, because it is the most powerful
animal in the jungle. The central figure
was made of handmade paper, while the other figures are revealed by the
negative space treatment. I then added
some three-dimensional rings along with text. Both book entries were completed
in one weekend. Whew, the pressure was on.
