Memory lane 2020

Cornelius Annor created this painting, titled 'Memory Lane', to capture the essence of familial bonds. Annor is a contemporary artist whose work often reflects on personal and collective histories. Here, we see several generations of women gathered together, poring over a photo album. The scene is intimate, filled with a sense of warmth and nostalgia. The choice to depict this moment speaks to the significance of oral and visual traditions in shaping identity. These women are actively engaging with their past, weaving together personal stories and shared experiences. The act of looking back becomes a way of understanding the present and affirming their connection to one another. Annor’s painting invites us to reflect on our own relationships with family, memory, and the stories that define who we are. It suggests that identity is not fixed but is instead constructed through ongoing dialogue with the past.
