🔹 Abstract 

Title: Onyame Aniwa (God’s Eye) – Symbolic African-Wear Design for Vision Virtuous Women Group
Designer: Samuel Ohene-Sarfo

Onyame Aniwa (translated as "God’s Eye") is a symbolic African-wear design commissioned for the Vision Virtuous Women Group — a Christ-centered fellowship of women dedicated to prayer, mentorship, and spiritual growth. Rooted in rich Ghanaian symbolism and Christian theology, the cloth’s central motif—an all-seeing divine eye—represents God’s ever-present guidance, protection, and judgment.

The design harmonizes traditional Adinkra symbolism, scriptural themes, and group identity, reflecting their slogan, "Worth More Than Rubies," and their prayerful ethos, "We Pray Until Something Happens (P.U.S.H)." Through its visual language, Onyame Aniwa affirms faith, dignity, resilience, and womanhood as spiritual virtues. The patterned elements integrate sacred geometry and textile storytelling to honor the spiritual journey of every woman in the group.

This wearable artwork exemplifies the fusion of faith and fashion, using cloth not only as attire but as testimony — a public declaration of divine watchfulness and feminine strength.
