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?
