SACKITEY TESA
MATE-KODJO

Hailing from Accra, Ghana, Sackitey Tesa Mate-Kodjo is a self-thought artist who focusses primarily on conceptual photography. With this medium, he reinterprets his surroundings and communicates his ideas and emotions. Everyday life, universal experiences, and symbolism across different cultures inspire his storytelling images. Through styling and prop-making, different elements are combined and create new perspectives.

 
Growing up in a creative household, the artist and his siblings helped their mother making costumes and stage props. As such, fashion and hands on-making played an important role early on. After completing a degree in Business Administration, Sackitey felt the need to document his thought process and started experimenting with photography. In his conceptual work, he has taken on many roles and will keep an open mind practicing between different creative fields.
