The Past Is Not the Present explores the evolution of Ghana’s tire industry—from a once-thriving industrial powerhouse to its current state—through layered overlays of past and present imagery. The series asks what lessons the past can offer and how we might imagine a future of renewal and growth. These digital collages are printed on archival photographic paper, preserving the work with clarity and depth.

This video observes vulcanizers at work—mending tires, pumping air, and carrying out steady acts of repair. Presented in a split-screen format, two scenes unfold side by side, drawing attention to the focus, skill, and care embedded in these repetitive gestures. The Act of Labour foregrounds the quiet value of everyday work and the people whose labor sustains movement, circulation, and daily life.
