Serge Attukwei Clottey is a Ghanian artist who coined the term "Afrogallonism" to describe his practice, which includes the process of using gallon-plastic containers, a common material used in Africa, to create his large quilted sculptures. Clottey examines themes of consumerism, sustainability, and identity, exploring the relationship between traditional and contemporary African life.
Accelerated Change reflects on environmental and socio-political shifts through his signature use of repurposed yellow plastic. The work addresses water scarcity, colonial histories, and global waste, transforming discarded materials into a striking visual statement. By weaving together fragments of everyday life, Clottey challenges viewers to reconsider their relationship with consumption and sustainability.
