About the Item
"Yellow Card" is a thought-provoking artwork created by Ogunniyi Oluwatosin, a Nigerian artist who uses her art to explore social issues. The artwork features a woman with her eyes closed against a vibrant yellow background, with the title "Yellow Card" displayed prominently above the image.
The woman in the artwork is depicted with her eyes closed, suggesting a sense of introspection or contemplation. Her expression is serene and peaceful, yet there is a sense of sadness and vulnerability that emanates from her. The yellow background adds to the emotive impact of the image, symbolizing the intensity of the emotions that the artwork evokes.
The title "Yellow Card" is a reference to the warning given in soccer when a player has committed a minor offense. Every game has rules. Obey the rules, win the game; disobey the rule, lose it! The game of life has losers and winners. Play fairly and win! In this context, Ogunniyi Oluwatosin uses the phrase to draw attention to the injustices and inequalities that women face in society, particularly in African communities.
Through "Yellow Card," Ogunniyi Oluwatosin wants to inspire viewers to reflect on the experiences of women and empathize with their struggles. The artwork is a call to action, urging the viewer to take a stand against gender-based discrimination and inequality.
The use of yellow in the background adds to the emotive impact of the artwork, creating a sense of warmth and energy that contrasts with the woman's closed eyes. The vibrant color suggests a sense of hope and optimism, even in the face of adversity.
In conclusion, "Yellow Card" is a powerful artwork that challenges the viewer to reflect on the experiences of women and to empathize with their struggles. Ogunniyi Oluwatosin's depiction of a woman with her eyes closed against a yellow background is a poignant representation of the vulnerability and resilience of women. Through her art, Ogunniyi Oluwatosin encourages viewers to take action and stand up for the rights of women everywhere. "Yellow Card" is a call to action for all of us to work towards a world where gender-based discrimination and inequality no longer exist.
