Description

Yes, I know there was one just uploaded, but I came home from work and something about this piece called me back in to rework it. So after a few layer masks, some adinkra type set in the background with filters and blending modes and a touch up or two [or three] with the Burn tool, I found myself much more happier with the result... The symbol in this image is the Gye Nyame, an Adinkra symbol originating from Ghana. West Africa. It represents the supermacy, omnipotence, omnipresence and the immortality of God.
