A affirmation as a daily reminder of the importance of staying connected to the heart and soul. Containing two Adinkra symbols. 'Aya' (translating to 'it hurts' in Asante Twi) a symbol of the fern, which encourages us to persevere and continue to grow through hard times as our burdens get lighter under the warmth of the creator. The second Adinkra symbol included in this artwork is 'Odo nyera fie kwan' meaning Love always returns home. An encouragement that if we are led by our true heart's desires we will always find our way to joy, peace and stability.
