Jeffery Baidoo’s “Sight From Our Past (II)” is a colorful and thoughtful artwork that

tells a story of community, memory, and identity. Using fabric on canvas, Baidoo

creates a vibrant scene filled with faces, each uniquely designed with bold patterns

and colors. The single eye on each face is a powerful symbol, showing how we look to the past

to find wisdom and meaning. 

The inscriptions, in the artwork, like “Royalty Learns from Youth” and “A King’s Journey in Young Footsteps,” highlight the importance of learning from history and the bond between generations. By blending traditional African prints with modern designs, Baidoo shows howheritage and today’s world are deeply connected. The overlapping figures represent unity and how our personal histories come together to create a shared story. This piece is a celebration of culture, resilience, and the lessons we carry with us.  It invites viewers to reflect on their own past and how it shapes who they are today.
