The parchment and crimson configurations at the top of the painting are abstractions of the northern regions of Ghana where Awenlue and Anthony Karbo have tribal ancestors. In yellow, and birthed from above, is an abstraction of Tema, Ghana, where they reside. Held and grounded below the yellow Tema is the geometry of a NE Portland, Oregon neighborhood where Awenlue grew up.
