As the sun sets, a new day is soon approaching. Though life’s consistency is part of its mundanity, this consistency is also one of its comforts. Each day’s routine consists of waking up, taking bath, going about our daily activities, finding food to eat, and resting to do it again the next day. Sunset captures in warm hues the moments during the eve of rest when reflections on how the day was begin to influence thoughts on how the next day will be. Frank Dwuye describes the flow between today and tomorrow by alternating between brushstrokes that are at times long and languid with others whose soft preciseness blends trees and homes with the earth that holds them. Dwuye’s signature image of women toting calabashes on their heads is present in the painting, contributing to this flow by suggesting movement and progression.
