In 2003, El Anatsui created this piece of artwork named "Adrinka Sasa." This sculpture is made from aluminum bottle tops, cooper wire, and fabric. Anatsui was inspired to make this sculpture from a traditional form of cloth from Ghana, which is where he is from. This cloth is very elegant and formal. The colors black and gold can really captivate one's attention. When Anatsui gives his artwork to a gallery, he tells the installers to hang the fabric in whatever they want too. To him, there is no right or wrong way to portray how it should be presented.
