"Sisters" emerges from the artist's profound contemplation of female solidarity in Togolese society, where sisterhood—both literal and figurative—forms an unshakable foundation for community resilience. This striking piece of African art captures the essence of this sacred bond through masterful use of warm terracotta and golden hues that evoke the rich earth and radiant sunsets of the West African landscape.
The artist draws inspiration from observations of women's relationships in Togolese villages, where sisters often move through life as inseparable companions—sharing joys, burdens, and ancestral knowledge. The heavily textured impasto technique creates dimensionality that suggests these bonds have substantial presence and weight in the social fabric, while the figures' elongated forms speak to their spiritual elevation and dignity.
