Wrapped in each other’s arms, two women give and seek consolation. The patterns in their clothing and hair frame the compassion and rest expressed in the women’s faces. The complimentary colors set off the figures. Budu comments, “We can be a refuge of comfort when we console someone at a time of grief or disappointment.”
“Yɛwɔ asɛdeɛ sɛ yɛma wɔn a wɔayɛ mmrɛ no so na yɛhyɛ yɛn ho yɛn ho den.”
—Ernest L. Budu
