About the Item

We wring our hands or celebrate, and just behind the curtain we nod and nod, knowing and knowing because we created it long ago and then lived towards it.

Healer Also Needs Healing II
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
"Healer Also Needs Healing" is an evocative portrait that invites viewers to explore the inner world of the subject. The woman depicted exudes a sense of strength and serenity, her eyes gazing into the distance with a mix of determination and vulnerability. Ganiyat masterfully captures the delicate balance between the external projection of strength and the internal longing for healing. The woman's visage is rendered in exquisite detail, with every brushstroke contributing to the depth of her character. Her features reflect a life well-lived, marked by experiences both joyful and painful. The artist employs a subtle yet profound use of color, emphasizing warm and earthy tones that evoke a sense of grounding and connection to nature. The intricate interplay of light and shadow further adds dimension and intensity to the subject's expression. Abdulazeez's artwork conveys a powerful message about the often-overlooked struggles faced by those in nurturing roles. By focusing on a healer, traditionally associated with strength and selflessness, the artist challenges the notion that caregivers are immune to their own wounds. The title itself, "Healer Also Needs Healing," emphasizes this essential truth and serves as a reminder to viewers to extend compassion to those who are constantly providing it to others. The woman's serene yet contemplative expression embodies the dichotomy between the need to heal and the strength required to carry the burden of others' pain. Her distant gaze hints at an internal world, perhaps filled with personal battles, memories, or unvoiced emotions. It invites viewers to reflect on the toll that caregiving roles can take on individuals, urging them to recognize the importance of self-care and nurturing their own well-being. Moreover, the subtle details within the artwork contribute to its symbolic depth. The presence of natural elements, such as flowers or leaves entwined in the woman's hair or adorning her attire, suggests a connection to the healing power of nature and the cycle of growth and renewal. These elements symbolize the potential for personal transformation and rejuvenation, highlighting the importance of self-nurture for healers and caregivers alike. Ganiyat Abdulazeez...
