GENAH

The striking orange lips in this painting serve as a focal point, hinting at symbolism beyond mere color. Orange, often associated with vitality, transformation, or even caution, could represent the power of speech, passion, or an unspoken message waiting to be revealed. The intensity of her gaze, wide and unflinching, suggests deep contemplation or an urgent awareness—she sees something others may overlook. The textured strokes and layered contrasts create a sense of movement within stillness, leaving the viewer to question: is she about to speak, or is she holding back words too powerful to be voiced?

ORANGE PEEL

WAR POSE is the embodiment of TAKI’s motto: make your war beautiful. In the center of the painting is an abstract image of an AK 47 facing upwards—a mimicry of the way soldiers in the Liberian Civil War would pose with their weapons. Just as these soldiers sought a physical representation of their experience in battle, we too strive to see ourselves. Our personal war is a mirror through which we see our reflection. But, unlike a photo, we perceive ourselves through the imperfect lens of memory. This means we can revisit our memories with intentionality—and make them beautiful. Not to set things right, but to see things rightly.

WAR POSE

This abstract composition evokes the silhouette of a ship while simultaneously resembling the black and white keys of a piano, blending themes of war and music. The structured, repetitive strokes suggest that war, much like a melody, follows a set rhythm—predictable yet powerful. However, just as a song’s beauty depends on how its notes are arranged, war’s outcome hinges on the choices of those who orchestrate it. The painting challenges the viewer to consider whether conflict is an inevitable, rigid composition or if, through intention and creativity, it can be rewritten into something harmonious.

EARTH & WATER

A striking meditation on duality, perception, and spiritual fragmentation. On the left stands a male figure; on the right, a female—deliberately placed to reflect TAKI’s six-year-old understanding of masculine and feminine energies during the Liberian Civil War. Traditionally, the right symbolizes action and logic, while the left evokes intuition and emotion. Here, those forces converge to form a singular face—two beings becoming one, united by a shared vision that, during wartime, often felt unreachable.

Their arms extend to hold the central figure’s eyes, underscoring the vital role of vision—literal, emotional, and spiritual—in shaping identity. In the chaos of war, survival demanded the creation of internal worlds. Each person, TAKI suggests, held their own version of reality, their own image of God. MANY FACE GOD reflects this fractured divinity, asking: how many gods live within us, and which do we allow ourselves to see?
