Here is Mr. Penguin all dressed up in his special vest of the African American or African Diaspora flag. Why a penguin? No reason. He represents nothing except his exceptional cuteness. He travels the world and buys vests of flags of all the countries he visits. He also buys vests representing groups of people without a specific country. The flag is sometimes called the Flag of the African Diaspora. It consists of three horizontal stripes, one red, one black and one green. The background color for most items is a pale blue. In case you ever need to match it to something, the HTML code for it is #bcdbf7.

Sankofa is often expressed in the Akan language as "sewo were fi nawosankofa a yenki". Which means it is not an abomination to return and take what you forgot. Sankofa teaches that to record successes and move forward, we have to return to our roots. In other words, Sankofa translates to gathering good lessons learned in our past and using them to achieve future goals.

Featured 10/20/14 in Art Universe Featured 1/24/15 in Bryce and Beyond Many of the Science Fiction stories I read in my youth included tales of mass exodus from doomed planets in starships, relocating entire populations to distant utopias, to "lands of milk and honey". The tiny spheres in this image reminded me of such descriptions of multiple liftoffs of space craft leaving forever their original homelands, clearly a parable for the waves of migration that have occurred on earth throughout our recorded history, and, according to genetic and archaeological records, far before that.

"Denkyem" means “crocodile” in the Akan language. It is a symbol of adaptability, cleverness. From the Akan proverb, “Ɔdɛnkyɛm da nsuo mu nanso ɔhome mframa,” which means, “The crocodile lives in water yet it breathes air.” One may attribute the adaptability of the reptile to himself to show his own adaptability and ingenuity coupled with formidability and mystery. The idea that it takes ingenuity to live in water but breathe air comes from the inability of humans to do that. Hence, the anthropomorphized crocodile becomes a symbol that embodies superhuman traits the user desires to communicate about himself.

“you don’t fit into my imagination anymore, it’s an idealized botanical painting, romantic and narrow like a dollhouse, cramped but exquisite, exotic leaves twisting seductively in the morning light, tiny porcelain cups filled with black tea and cream, flocked wallpaper covered in tropical flowers and songbirds in the bathroom, guitars and amps in the attic...”⁣ — Heather Havrilesky
