Delali Cofie A Place of Ours
A Place of Ours is a documentary style narration on the meaning of home. Featuring images captured over the last three years in the artist’s native country of Ghana, it represents the evolving relevance of their home in their art practice, as a love letter and salute to the people and moments that decorate everyday life.
Using portraiture and landscape photography, A Place of Ours depicts the peace, play, and subtle moments of self-expression that build a sense of nostalgia that the images live in.
