Roots in Resonance embodies the pulse of memory embedded within material and form. Concentric circles emerge like seeds of sound or ancestral echoes, vibrating through vertical streaks of earth and rust. A standing figure seems to rise in dialogue with these organic rings — both guardian and witness of invisible energy. Hamed Ouattara’s technique of layered acrylic and folded canvas turns each texture into a living vibration, balancing rawness and refinement. This work channels the deep rhythm of Africa’s soul — where art becomes both vessel and resonance of timeless heritage.
