Colours and geometries leave room for interpretation. The viewer projects his own world of experience. First I saw a neighbourhood of colored gardens from birds eyes perspective. A short time later, the topography of Kuma villages and mountain peaks appears. But Kosi abstracts togolese people dancing to traditional rhythms. The colors fill the room with a reminder of the intense african light. You have to travel to get a closer understanding of these work.

Over the wooden fire the fruits of the palm trees are cooked to an orange oil. This "blood of the palm trees" is processed here in small-scale farming structures according to old recipes. The rich water of coconuts are an essential part of the togolese street food. Strong women with machetes prepare the hard-to-open fruit for customers in seconds.
Palm trees are part of Kosi Agbo's figurative dictionary of the tropics. A symbol of the symbiosis between mankind and nature.
