Bronze cast baobab trees, a symbol of resilience as it thrives where little else does and whose bark and fruit are used in indigenous remedies, traditions, and folklore.

Emefa Cole is a British-Ghanaian jewellery designer and the Curator of Diaspora Jewellery at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. Constituting a form of wearable art, Cole’s work explores her own cultural heritage, the beauty of natural and geologic phenomena, and the transformative power of time and nature.

Her practice is based on traditional Ghanaian metalsmithing combined with modern techniques. She is especially known for her ethical approach, including using only recycled metals and ethically sourced African gemstones.
