About the Item

"To Whom It Is Deserved," an evocative artwork by Eyitayo Alagbe, depicts a powerful narrative of recognition and support. In this piece, two young men take center stage, with one wearing a crown and the other resting on his back with his eyes closed. This artwork speaks to the themes of mentorship, guidance, and acknowledging the contributions of others. The young man with the crown symbolizes achievement and leadership, while the one resting on his back represents the weight of responsibility and the need for moments of respite. Alagbe's artwork prompts viewers to reflect on the importance of recognizing and honoring those who deserve our respect and support. "To Whom It Is Deserved" is a visual testament to the significance of lifting one another up and sharing the burden of leadership, underscoring the idea that deserving individuals should be acknowledged and upheld in their journey.
