Meyina Means "I am going" in Ewe, which is a language spoken by the people who live in south eastern Ghana. This work was done in the year of 2017, and was on exhibit with four other similar works. El Anatsui's works are tapestry like, as they look light, flowy and colorful against the flat walls they are installed on. These works by this sculpture are c composed of thousands of crumbles pieces of metals from local African alcohol recycling stations. These metal pieces are then tied together by copper wire. I like this piece specifically for the uses of greens and blues which are contrasted by his usual works tat incorporate reds, yellows and blacks. This piece reminds me of the beach, as the buses and browns/ coppers reflect the ocean, waves and sand.
