"An incredible feat of acrobacy is transformed into a decorative walking stick of admirable artistry. Eva Asantewa Amakye designs this stunning walking stick in the shape of a woman bending at a 90°degree angle to form the handle while reaching out to a man. His long legs are intertwined giving shape to the stick. Meaning 'lady' in the Twi dialect of the Akan people, the 'Aketesia' walking stick is carved by hand of sese wood and decorated with embossed aluminum.
Many African societies regard a person with a walking stick with respect and dignity. Usually associated with age, an elderly person using a walking stick is believed to have accumulated vast knowledge and wisdom through the years. Traditionally, the design on a walking stick tells the societal status and political inclination of the person using it."

"I love seeing how antique pieces evoke feelings of nostalgia. The most challenging aspect of this art is building on ideas, and the creative process from design to finish. Because I only design, I look for skilled carvers to translate my concepts onto the wood. Having worked with wood crafts for a while, I've learned to personally check the quality of wood and carved creations.
"This art has provided work for a lot of young people in my community. I still keep learning to improve the quality of my creations by attending seminars and exhibitions.
"I'm inspired by the things around me and by everyday life. I dream of one day having a big workshop to be able to help more young people in my community."
