The project spans photography, video, and sculpture, offering a multidimensional look at the spiritual, socio-political, and historical facets of gold. Odufu’s photographic series depicts the Akan people as a powerful African empire, emphasizing their pursuit of wealth and power through war, trade, and regal splendor. The images present a futuristic yet pre-colonial perspective, highlighting the strength and warrior ethos in Akan heritage. The gold in the series serves as more than ornamentation, carrying intricate designs of animals and symbols. Odufu showcases how these designs preserve ancient philosophies and stories of victory within Akan culture.
