Azeez Salami
Should I Get on Board?

2022

About the Item

Art has the power to convey complex ideas and emotions through visual means, and Azeez Salami's artwork "Should I Get on Board?" is a prime example of this. The piece depicts a person sitting in the center of a chess board, surrounded by chess pieces, deep in thought. The title of the artwork suggests that the person is contemplating whether or not to engage in a game, perhaps as a metaphor for a larger decision in their life. The composition of the artwork is striking, with the person positioned in the center of the chess board, surrounded by the pieces. The use of negative space around the figure creates a sense of isolation and introspection as if the person is grappling with a decision that only they can make. The chess board itself is a powerful symbol, representing the game of life and the strategic decisions that we make along the way. The chess pieces are rendered in intricate detail, with each piece representing a different aspect of life and the choices that we face. The person in the artwork is portrayed with a sense of deep contemplation as if they are carefully weighing the options before them. One of the most powerful aspects of "Should I Get on Board?" is the way that it encourages viewers to reflect on their own decision-making processes. The artwork asks us to consider the consequences of the choices that we make and to approach life's challenges with a sense of strategy and intentionality. Overall, Azeez Salami's "Should I Get on Board?" is a powerful work of art that encourages viewers to reflect on the decisions that they make in life. Its use of metaphor and symbolism creates a rich and complex visual language that speaks to the human experience, and its message of introspection and strategy is a timeless one, reminding us to approach life's challenges with purpose and intention.
