Life
Louisa Awuku-Aboagye ( Born 29th January 1997)  is an experimental digital Ghanaian artist with an uncanny ability to open doors to emotions that hover superficially in people's conscious self. She achieves this by using herself as a subject to stir and guide varying emotions in her audience. Many people think they're happy, or sad when they really are just wearing masks directly and indirectly dictated by their environment.

Education
Tema International School is a private coeducational boarding school located in Tema, Ghana. Tema international school offers the International Baccalaureate programme ( IBDP ) for students post International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE), and IB Middle Years Programme (MYP)  enabling them access to international degrees and study abroad.

International Baccalaureate Program


The IB Diploma Program (DP) is a thorough, scholastically difficult and adjusted program of training intended to get ready understudies matured 16 to 19 for progress at college and life The DP expects to urge understudies to be proficient, inquisitive, mindful and caring, and to create intercultural understanding, receptiveness and the frames of mind important to regard and assess a scope of perspectives. Ways to deal with instructing and learning (ATL) are intentional techniques, abilities and frames of mind that penetrate the educating and learning condition. In the DP, understudies create abilities from five ATL classifications: considering, look into, social, self-administration and correspondence. To guarantee both broadness and profundity of learning and comprehension, understudies must pick six courses from six particular gatherings: 1) thinks about in language and writing; 2) language obtaining; 3) people and social orders, 4) sciences; 5) arithmetic; 6) the expressions. Understudies may choose to supplant expressions of the human experience course with a second course from one of the other five gatherings. Something like three, and not more than four, subjects are taken at more elevated amount (240 suggested showing hours), while the remaining are taken at standard dimension (150 prescribed instructing hours). Likewise, three center components—the all-encompassing article, hypothesis of information and inventiveness, movement, administration—are mandatory and integral to the logic of the program.

Creativity Action Service (CAS )
Creativity Action Service ( CAS) as is a required center segment of the Diploma Program (DP). Attempted all through the Diploma Program, CAS includes understudies in the scope of exercises close by their scholarly investigations. It isn't formally surveyed. Be that as it may, understudies think about their CAS encounters as a major aspect of the DP and give proof of accomplishing the seven learning results for CAS.

Butterfly Effect Organiztion
The butterfly effect Organization is CAS initiative. Butterfly Effect is a social enterprise that designs learning and teaching experiences for students to impact their lives and their communities.

Aims
It aims is simply, We believe two things. Firstly, each one of us is inherently eager to learn about things that stir our imagination. Secondly, we are all capable of discovering, understanding and using ideas, knowledge and skills to develop self and community. In 2016, Louisa collaborated with the United Nation and African Union to help donate and educate Women and children about living a healthy lifestyle, entrepreneurship, Teaching children basic Mathematical and English lessons and many more.

In Time Film Project
By experimenting with photography, advanced digital photo manipulation techniques, video art and above all, spontaneity, Louisa opens her being to total strangers. She lets them into her self, becoming one with them as an exploration of what it means to live in the time allotted everyone; to be, to feel, to love, to cry, to understand and most importantly, to come to terms with our humanity!

Her project, In Time, is a 7-second video shot at York University. The video isn't large file and thus, can easily (and quickly) be shared across the internet on YouTube or Vimeo and between art peers. In Time has no dialogue and relies on an acoustic guitar riff to convey a simultaneously calm and electric feeling to audiences.

The piece sees the artist moving through classrooms with a glum, indifferent expression. Only when she makes into the theatre, something Louisa is deeply in love with does she express another emotion - pure, unabashed excitement.

Her video piece, inspired by a friend's striking photo, is a performance that explores the expression and emotion of college students - her course mates - after class. By focusing on her classmates, Louisa reimagines how they might feel after going through the humdrum routine of class. In her interpretation, it goes from an uninspired, robotic and Orwellian existence to something akin to freedom - all literally in the blink of an eye!

In Time is Louisa's take on how elusive the concept of time is. Time flies is a true and very popular expression that thrills her each time. In just the blink of an eye, a wide-eyed child with not a care in the world suddenly has to worry about turning in assignments on time, making it early to a class, graduating from college, jumpstarting a career, living, dying; a repetitive cycle.

As college students living in a fast-paced world, time is a precious commodity that is next to impossible to get back. And who's to blame them? Pop culture slogans like YOLO (You Only Live Once) give these students a reason to question their present lives and wonder if the passing minutes are all for naught or f there's some higher purpose.

How are you living your life? Are you chasing your dreams? Should you drop out of school just like the great tech geniuses like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs? Am I fulfilled? In Time is a reflection of some of the simple yet important questions students mull over constantly.

In Time is part of a larger art project around photography and video aptly named Techni, the Greek word for art.
