“The Urban Drift” is about the struggles people face when they move from the countryside to the city in Africa. The artwork shows a busy Ghanaian trotro (a type of bus) on a fast road. The driver’s head looks like a cross, symbolizing the heavy burden of trying to fit in and find a better life in the city. The bus conductor has no head, but has eyes all over his neck, showing how people are always being watched and judged in the city, making them feel like they can’t be themselves. A passenger with a strange, changed head represents how people lose their old identities and struggle to find new ones in a big city. A billboard beside the road says "Misconception of Digital Art" and is painted on old fabric, mixing old and new styles. This shows how traditional and modern ways of life clash and mix together in the city. This artwork highlights the tough experiences of rural people moving to urban areas, showing their pain and the unfairness they face. It asks us to think about how digital art can help tell these important stories.

Edwin Boye (b. 1997) is a Ghanaian Photographer and Visual Artist. An Afro - surreal Expressionist known as MadCreative. A self-taught artist who nourished his love for art with books and researches whilst studying Marketing in the University of Professional studies, Accra. He employs surrealism to transcribe his imagination into digital artworks. He creates surreal images which shares stories that encourages better conditions for black people and an idea that sells the African sci-fi. Using digital tools he leaves little details in his visuals which reflects thoughts, urges, emotions and memories. As an artist, I would want people to come to an understanding of what the Afro – surrealism movement stands for and encourage black people about better conditions. This is the symbol of hope that I wish for my body of works to speak in years to come.Edwin Boye (b. 1997) is a Ghanaian Photographer and Visual Artist.
