"Pkah" by Jean-Baptiste Djéka

In “Pkah”, Jean-Baptiste Djéka calls us to gather the good — "Pkah" meaning both "goodness" and "to collect"in Baoulé. It is a soul’s song, urging each heart to align with purity and let the good take root within.

When the soul aligns with purity, it draws down higher energies, unlocking a second mission: to gather, concentrate, and elevate spiritual force through acts of creation. This path is not learned, but remembered — an instinctive art of doing good until it becomes the breath of daily life.

At the heart of"Pkah" stands the child — symbol of innocence, bearer of inner light. With clear gaze and open heart, the child sees what adults forget. Protector of elders, guardian of spiritual memory, the child leads us home.

"Pkah" becomes an invitation to awaken — to
open the soul, and draw in divine energy under the gentle wing of innocence.
