Eric Darko carves a captivating sese wood sculpture to embody the Akan saying ewiase haw da me so, or "the world's problems on me." A man with a long pail on his head scratches his chin as he tries to reason within a cloud of perplexity. "Sometimes we find ourselves in so much trouble we cannot carry the weight of it, making life very unbearable for us," observes Darko.
