Nana Tchitchoua’s practice responds to a contemporary condition marked by speed, disconnection, and cultural forgetting. Working across painting, drawing and printmaking, she explores the entanglement of history, ecology, mysticism, and personal memory, using art as a space for reflection and spiritual inquiry.
