Quotes I decided to use my art as a voice in the political space. I started to make commentary on what I was seeing. I like to think of what I do as asking questions, because I consider it my responsibility, or my right. Or both actually, it is my responsibility and my right to start asking questions of what is going on in the political space with stuff that I don’t really understand. These decisions and these things affect all of our lives. Bright explained the messages and themes he is trying to convey through your art I am the type of person who chooses to see any kind of difficulty at all as an opportunity. When you are posed with a problem it is just an opportunity to find a new solution. Bright explained how he came up against anything in his career that annoys him about the art industry But I think this character cuts across to Ghanaian as a whole; because the leadership is a reflection of the people. And we all sometimes turn deaf ears to pertinent issues we can and should address such as littering and sanitation. So the goat epitomizes every single Ghanaian who turns a blind eye to what they should be focusing on to help build a better Ghana. Bright describing what a goat in the piece which appears to be lying dead symbolize. External links Category:Living people Category:Artists from Ghana
