Details

"In the Akan language we say, 'mo moyen nkuta wiase se kosua,' which means 'hold the world gently in our hands like an egg.' This teaches us that we should not fight or we shall destroy it. Rather, we should unite and raise our world higher," encourages Eric Darko. His sage vision for world peace finds expression in this remarkable sculpture, which he expertly carves of local sese wood.
