A woman is preparing food for the family outside her house. I chose this piece because it shows our mandinka culture. The composition reminds me of how a typical mandinka cooks her food for the family without a kitchen.
My father, my two sisters and I are Mandinka and my mother is a Tukusol. I like football, painting, and playing video games and I dislike being disturbed when I am playing video games. I spend my free time painting and drawing, and playing football.
