" I am inspired by science and the meta event, popularly known as “the Big Bang” in history and how it has transformed with time into what we have in the present day. " - Patricia Edwine - Poku From a bird's eye view, Edwine - Poku's work creates a visual language of the elements and nature as a different perspective, with color and texture to depict movement, change and transformation. It represents reality and the expansive environment around her, a continuous representation of countless possibilities of existence way beyond the bounds of time.
