Bathed in the golden glow of sunset, clustered houses are radiant in the last light of day. Palm trees tower over homes in an older neighborhood of Kumasi. Working in glowing batik, Samuel Ashong achieves a work of extraordinary beauty. This is a scene captured in the shanty areas of Kumasi, he says. The brown roofs show the age of the town. Ashong presents the batik in a mat board passe-partout, ready for framing.
