About the Item
"We are all equal in the fact that we are all different." These poignant words serve as the foundation of "Harmonious (Mixed Feeling)." The artwork beautifully captures the essence of diversity by presenting two women, each with their own distinct features, cultural backgrounds, and experiences. The artist's skillful portrayal of these differences reminds us that our individuality is a cause for celebration, as it contributes to the vibrant tapestry of human existence.
"We are all the same in the fact that we will never be the same." This powerful statement challenges the notion of uniformity and emphasizes the beauty of our unique identities. In "Harmonious (Mixed Feeling)," the smiles shared by the two women symbolize a universal language of joy and happiness. Regardless of our disparities, the human capacity to experience and express emotions unites us on a profound level. It is in these shared emotions that we find common ground and build bridges of understanding.
"We are united by the reality that all colors and all cultures are distinct & individual." The vibrant colors depicted in the artwork serve as a metaphor for the rich diversity present in our world. Just as a rainbow showcases a spectrum of hues, cultures, and ethnicities contribute to the multifaceted nature of humanity. "Harmonious (Mixed Feeling)" reminds us that it is within the intersections of our varied backgrounds that we can appreciate and learn from one another, fostering a sense of respect and admiration for the tapestry of cultures that surround us.
"We are harmonious in the reality that we are all held to this earth by the same gravity." These profound words emphasize the fundamental truth that unites us all: our shared existence on this planet. Regardless of our differences, we are bound by the interdependence of life, breathing the same air and being subject to the same natural laws. The artwork serves as a reminder that, beyond societal constructs and cultural boundaries, we are all interconnected beings, deserving of empathy, compassion, and respect.
"I will not blind myself and say that my black brother is not different from me. I will not blind myself and say that my brown sister is not different from me. But my black brother is he as much as I am me. But my brown sister is she as much as I am me." These powerful lines encapsulate the spirit of inclusivity and recognition of individuality. The artwork challenges us to embrace diversity without dismissing or diminishing the experiences of others. It urges us to acknowledge and celebrate our differences while fostering a sense of equality and unity.
"Harmonious (Mixed Feeling)" is not just a visually stunning artwork; it serves as a profound reminder of the power of diversity and unity in our world. Through the smiles of the two women, the artist encapsulates the beauty of individuality while highlighting our shared humanity. This masterpiece invites us to celebrate the rich tapestry of cultures, experiences, and identities that make us who we are, fostering a world that embraces inclusivity and cherishes the harmony born out of our diverse existence.

About Artist
Emmanuel Ojebola was born in southwest Nigeria Eruwa Oyo state in the late 90s. He had his secondary education in the Baptist model High school Sango Eruwa where he developed his interest in the art using the course of his junior secondary school education.
