Sampson works with sculpture, textile, and installation. With a distinct sensitivity to the biography of textiles, Addae employs discarded clothing both as medium and as a vessel for social, political, and emotional narratives—what he refers to as “discarded bodies.”

Addae’s artistic practice articulates of connections between the personal and the global, between multiple lived realities and his own experiences across Ghana and Norway. A garment donated in Oslo does not stand apart from a pile of used clothes in the Kantamanto Market in Accra, it is embedded within a material economy shaped by global resource flows, transnational movement, affective value systems, and, crucially, unequally distributed consequences. Through processes of collection, reconfiguration, and spatial staging, Addae gives form to narratives of migration, belonging, economic asymmetry, and the residual matter of consumer culture.
