"The Return" pulses with the celebratory energy of homecoming, drawing inspiration from the profound cyclical movements that define Togolese cultural identity. This vibrant piece of African art depicts seven figures balancing vessels on their heads, symbolizing the journey of return—whether physical, spiritual, or cultural—that resonates deeply in Togolese communities where migration and homecoming form essential rhythms of life.
 
The artist draws from personal experiences of diaspora and reunion, where those who left their villages for urban centers or foreign lands eventually return bearing both tangible goods and transformed perspectives. The striking composition places these elongated figures against a backdrop of repeating circular patterns in turquoise and crimson—colors reminiscent of traditional Togolese textiles that connect contemporary expression to ancestral aesthetic traditions.
