Eyitayo Alagbe Life Happens For Us2022

About the Item
Life doesn’t happen to you, it happens to you. This idea is powerful both in our personal lives and our professional lives. Instead of waiting for things to happen to you, instead of worrying about the competition, instead of complaining about the economy, we all have the power to make choices and take control of our lives.
Some people believe that life is happening to them, and because of this, they get weighed down when something bad happens, Other people believe that life is happening for them and that each incident good or bad is shaping them into the person they’re meant to become. Which one would you rather be? If it’s the latter, it’s time to change your mindset.

- Beflowered ILocated in Ibadan, Oyo"Be-Flowered" is deeply rooted in the African cultural heritage of a female child. In African culture, it is revered that a young woman should maintain her sexual purity until marriage, which brings immense joy and honor to her family when her husband finds her a virgin on their wedding night. The title "Be-Flowered" is derived from the concept of "Deflower," which signifies taking away a lady's innocence or dispossessing her of her virginity. However, in this painting series, my premise is centered on empowering women and celebrating their pride and inherent power. The first two pieces of the series feature ladies adorned in traditional South African bids worn during the Virgin festival. The gentle pink clouds symbolize feminine power and poise, evoking the strength and grace embodied by women. A community that empowers women tends to uphold higher moral standards than one that does not. My perspective veers away from the idea of gender equality, recognizing its limitations, and instead, I believe in gender equity, providing each gender with the opportunities they need to fulfill their potential. This series aims to leave my audience with a profound appreciation for empowerment and a celebration of cultural heritage. I hope viewers will reflect on the significance of embracing one's roots while acknowledging the strength and beauty that women contribute to society.
