A Friend to Lean On

Maureen Mawusi Afua Allandi

The artist hopes to emphasise the importance of adult friendships in this piece. The muses are her brother, George and his best friend. Life is hard most at times. It helps to have that one (or more) person(s) to help you get by.

Maureen is a 17-year-old living in Accra, Ghana. She loves drawing, writing literary pieces and debating on world issues.
