Signs - Worldwide Collaborative
Signs is a collaborative project created by Caroline Jung. The Adinkra symbol I created was selected to be a part of this 170 worldwide mosaic artist collaboration.
Signs was exhibited at the 2015 International Mosaic Conference held in Ravenna, Italy. Each mosaic element was 8 in x 8 in. My contribution is on the 4th rows down from the left, and 8th column to the right.
