Okan soso Oga

“Okan soso oga,” explores the idea of self acknowledgement; the composition shows a gathering of strong, distinct presences, perhaps highlighting individual power within a group. On this vibrant blue background, you see three figures interacting in different ways. One is a bold, dark blue silhouette, with an earring that stands out. Another figure, in a lighter blue-green, seems to be mid-gesture, perhaps in thought or movement. And a third figure, in white, is partially seen, adding another layer to the composition. For me, this painting speaks to the idea of individual mastery or unique power (“Okan soso oga” implies “one head is boss”). It’s about how each person holds their own strength and presence, even when part of a larger group, and how those different energies combine.
