Exploring the world is exploring yourself. The outer world touches inner worlds. And for some reason, wherever you go becomes a part of you somehow.

This year we visited Mexico, Morocco, Ghana, Italy, and Portugal — and kept our fire burning.

Inspired by cultural contexts, we integrate the newly gained perspectives and expand our own minds.

Ghana showed us more than ever, to feel and connect to our female-driven focus. At Ode to A, we embody the mission to strive for more gender equality and equity, seeing the importance and positive impact of including more women in entrepreneurship and giving them more and equal opportunities by changing mindsets and perspectives, by empowering, equipping and guiding them in their entrepreneurial and personal journey.

At our office in Ghana, we are going to support special programs and facilitate female entrepreneurs in their journeys, to become free and independent. As a global brand agency, we want to create a stage and a space for talents who do not always have access to the market or fair fees, but are willing to give it all — and our aim is to connect them with our international clients worldwide. We curate talents, and are not limited by any border.

We are here to create the best connections, processes, and outcomes. In a way that we can make an impact, elevate quality and create a synergy of aesthetics.

In this context, we want you to feel free and open to send us at any time from any where in the world a message to open up these conversations or when you think you can be of added value to Ode to A.

Love,

Team Ode

Ode to Art — With ‘Mind Mingle’ (2/2) we dive into the mind of the artist himself.

3-D artist explains:

‘I wanted to create a series of artworks which try to explain the feeling when my mind mixes together different elements of life. Some of the animations are very organic-like, and resemble a true connection to our inside. The clips can also be understood metaphorical, soft and comfort, no hard edges but very transformative.’

What we admire in his work is his ability to ignite digital energy, for the viewers eye, organically. It’s a true art – letting the audience imagining an alternative reality.

You may not have yet heard of this promising young Korean photographer, but she is rising and featured in international publications such as i-D.

Yenata is capturing the liberated side of Seoul, the carefree nature of the Korean youth. How do they express themselves, play, and feel?

‘I just like strong moods. It’s really simple, yet strong. Most of the subjects are friends, and they often shoot naturally when they are playing.’

With her shooting style she is reframing and redefining what it means to be a young adult in modern South Korea. Her exploration of intense contrasts between red an black hues, and the interaction of her subjects and the viewers can fiercely catch your eye.

Ode to Art — What if you loose the feeling of space? To experience spacelessness. When the mind knows (but cannot grasp it), but your body experiences it. What happens with your overall sense?

This artist dedicates his entire life to it. Our ever-inspiration and master of perception, light, color, and space: .

He wasn’t alone in his intrigue. Back in the 1960s when James Turell started his career, the Light and Space group of artists became a movement:

‘Whether by directing the flow of natural light, embedding artificial light within objects or architecture, or by playing with light through the use of transparent, translucent or reflective materials, the Light and Space movement made the spectator’s experience of light and other sensory phenomena under specific conditions the focus of their work.’

How can we change perceptions by literally changing them by physical confusion? What you see here is ‘Bridget’s Bardo’ (2008) — an artwork that is meant to deal with inner space and artificial light, as opposed to outer space and celestial light. Confusion opens up new ways of thinking — it opens up your inner world.
