Balance is a portrait of Naki Osutei. The title of this piece relates to Osutei's role in the community as someone who works to achieve balance within a role of corporate responsibility. Note the symmetrical placement of the red line in the painting, demonstrating this concept of balance. The clothing is inspired by the fashion of the 1920's, indicating that she would be a descendant of Mrs. Pipkin in the artist's narrative.
