„I had a date in the bush
With all the gods,
So I went.
I had a date in the bush
With all the trees,
So I went.
I had a date in the mountain
with the Kontomble.
I went because I had to go.
I had to go away to learn
How to know.
I had to go away to learn
How to grow.
I had to go away to learn
How to stay here.
So I went and knocked at doors
Locked in front of me.
I craved to enter.
Oh, little did I know
The doors did not lead outside.
It was all in me.
I was the room and the door.
It was all in me.
I just had to remember."
– song of Dagara people
”The Minipeople" is an art series that illustrates my experience with depression. Each image is a message from my subconsciousness trying to show me the way and guide me through difficult times. These works were a way to communicate with my soul when my mind was trying to keep me occupied with negative thoughts.
