Congratulations to Ewuraba Asmah, a Lower 6 Former and a Boarding Student of GIS for winning the 2023 Academic City University College Art Competition for High School Students.
Ewuraba claimed the top spot and left a lasting impression during her presentation at the fiercely held competition. Her award-winning watercolour painting, “Beyond the High Rise”, captured high-rise buildings, within a rural setting.
According to Ewuraba, this is symbolic of her opinion of Ghana’s current economic state of affairs. She believes that these infrastructural developments do not accommodate the needs of the lower-class citizens, and help to create a much wider divide between them and people of a higher class. “I tried to capture the concept that, on the surface, the country may look developed even though it truly is not, as it doesn’t benefit everyone or even those most in need.”- Ewuraba.
Well done, Ewuraba! And congratulations once again for making us all so proud. All the best!
