Artist Statement
Amah is a color-focused synesthetic artist whose geometric shapes examine how perception and reality are constructed. The core tenet of her practice lies in the paradoxical act of concealing as a form of revealing. Rooted in her African heritage and its visual symbols, she uses size, space, and color to explore humanity’s duality and the fragmented self as a collective blueprint rather than an individual ego.

Her shapes echo masks, maps, and architectures of identity through balance and tension. Amah explores the depth of identity as something lost, marginalized, and rejected. In counterpoint, she addresses the universal identity as an associative psyche of oneself. For her, concealment is not absence but revelation. The works are an oscillation through the mask that unveils spirit, narrative, and connection. The mask becomes a portal linking heritage, mythos, narrative, and modern abstraction.

Repetitive lines and compositions structure a complex labyrinth of personal and collective identity, weaving through memory, recollection, longing, disconnection, intersection, and culture. Her practice questions the singularity of the self versus the collective, and whether such boundaries and labels can remain through the lens of the self and modern society. Amah’s compositions hold the paradoxical placements she inhabits the intimate yet distant, intuitive yet technically measure; inviting viewers to enter a space where clarity and ambiguity coexist, and where the invisible finally takes form through color and balance.
