The Chronicles of A Bola (Waste) Girl
Since 2015, I have refrained from purchasing new clothing, instead focusing on crafting, upcycling, and mending my garments to address concerns about clothing waste. My commitment to sustainability was reinforced during a research trip to landfills in Ghana. While at the Royal College of Art doing a masters in footwear, I developed an innovative concept centred on waste dictating design.
My goal is to create purposeful fashion items with minimal reliance on new materials or, in some cases, using digital counterparts instead. Presently, I am deeply engaged in exploring the demodulation of footwear and accessories, employing data analysis to understand consumer behaviour. I also harness immersive technologies and AI for digital designs and prototyping. My artistic inspiration stems from the heroic narrative of Yaa Asantewaa, an 18th-century Ghanaian warrior who resisted colonialism. I channel her spirit into combating waste colonialism.
My core philosophy revolves around beautifying waste, transforming it into coveted commodities. My proficiency in immersive technologies, AI, and world-building empowers me to push the boundaries for a more sustainable fashion future.
