Mah Jong Textile:

Paradise

Paradise explores the domestic surface as a site of atmosphere, texture, and visual transformation. Rendered in a palette of pinks and lavenders, the composition draws from an imagined jungle in which natural forms shift into one another, monkeys dissolve into butterflies, birds take on the logic of flowers, and the line between landscape and fantasy remains deliberately unsettled.

Mah Jong Textile:

Kente

Kente Mah Jong sectional draws on the formal rhythm of traditional Akan Kente weaving from Ghana by reworking its geometry through abstraction and color. The surface is treated more like a painted field, where charcoal, teal, crimson, and fuchsia create a weave that feels gestural, layered, and in motion.

Mah Jong Textile:

Moth

Working in a soft sage green, this print brings together moths, butterflies, and Akan Ashanti Akua’ba forms from Ghana within a single patterned field. The composition moves between lightness and symbolism, pairing the fleeting movement of winged forms with emblems historically tied to fertility, lineage, and continuity. Renewal and inheritance are held in delicate balance.

Mah Jong Textile:

Akan

This textile takes the Akua’ba as both figure and pattern, repeating the form across the surface until it becomes rhythm, structure, and field. Long associated with beauty, fertility, protection, and the promise of new life in Ashanti culture, the Akua’ba carries both personal and collective meaning. Through repetition, the motif shifts from singular object to visual system, creating a surface that holds continuity, memory, and cultural presence at once.

Mah Jong Textile:

Ritual

Handwoven in Burkina Faso in collaboration with the Ethical Fashion Initiative, Ritual draws on the long history of narrow-strip weaving in West Africa. Constructed through individually woven bands that are later joined into a larger textile, the work carries a clear sense of rhythm, labor, and accumulation. The weaving here operates as a cultural record, holding histories of identity, ceremony, and transmission within its structure. The piece reflects a practice in which material, process, and inherited knowledge remain inseparable.
