About the Item

Gbelekale Azeez's "Yet, I Shine Brighter" is a powerful artwork featuring a woman who radiates strength, resilience, and beauty. The piece is a celebration of the spirit of women who have overcome adversity and emerged even stronger than before. At first glance, the woman in the artwork appears to be bathed in light, with rays of sunshine streaming through the background. Her face is turned upward, and her eyes are closed, suggesting a sense of peace and serenity. Her hair, which seems to be blowing in the wind, adds to the feeling of movement and energy in the piece. One of the most striking features of the piece is the way that the woman is portrayed. She is not depicted as a fragile, delicate flower, but rather as a force of nature, strong and resilient in the face of adversity. The title of the piece, "Yet, I Shine Brighter," suggests that the woman has faced challenges and setbacks, but has emerged from them even stronger and more determined. The use of light in the artwork is also noteworthy. The rays of sunshine streaming through the background suggest a sense of hope and possibility, while the shadows around the woman suggest that she has overcome darkness and hardship. The contrast between light and shadow creates a sense of depth and complexity in the piece, adding to its power and impact. Overall, "Yet, I Shine Brighter" is a beautiful and inspiring work of art that celebrates the resilience and strength of women. It is a testament to the power of the human spirit, and it serves as a reminder that even in the face of adversity, we can emerge stronger and more beautiful than ever before.
