Adinkra African Symbol - FOFO - Seeds of a plant - Black & white large canvas wall art

Adinkra Symbol FOFO - Seeds of a plant 

FOFO-NO MATTER HOW EXCELLENT THE HEN IS GOING TO DANCE, THE HAWK WOULD NEVER BE PLEASED. "When the fofo's petals drop, they turn into black spiky-like seeds. The Akan liken the nature of this plant to a jealous person."

- The Adinkra Dictionary by W. Bruce Willis

There is a Akan proverb associated with this symbol: "What the fofo plant wishes is that the gyinantwi seeds turn black." Serves as a decorative and is an object that encapsulates messages.  

Treat yourself and your home to these new abstract cultural offerings from Yvette Michele. These large black and white fine art canvas prints are a modern, minimalist way to enhance your decor and celebrate the African heritage with the adornment from the Akan.

The adinkra symbols represent popular proverbs and maxims, record historical events, and express particular attitudes or behavior related to depicted figures, or concepts uniquely related to abstract shapes. Originating in Ghana from the Akan.

 Yvette titles this body of work, "Embrace" – fine art prints & textiles. This art is great for living room walls, home offices or anywhere you would like a reminder of a sense of belonging.
