Akua Frema’s piercing eyes cut through the work as portals of seductive confidence. The artist draws attention to the character’s jewellery to complement the figure and give her a regal allure. Co-protagonist of the work is the indigo blue, surrounding the woman that emerges yet also blending within it. In a tender act, the character gently folds her hands, accentuating the triangular play of colour agreements between her eyes, lips and fingernails.
