Artisan Robert Aidoo-Taylor handcrafts a set of four ornaments from ofram wood, all inspired by the wise words of his ancestors. After crafting each little African mask, honoring Ghana's culture, the artisan paints the ornaments by hand in a vibrant palette, titling his creation Asomdwe Nsem, which means "peace matters" in the Akan language.
