About this Work

This is one of only two images in this exhibition that was taken outside of the studio. It depicts a Ghanaian boy on an outdoor patio. His confident, dynamic posture and beaming smile energize the portrait, while the black and white panels of his shirt create a visual affinity with those along the wall in the background.
