Oshorenoya David Francis
Strength Within
2023

About the Item

"Strength Within," a poignant creation by Oshorenoya David Francis, unveils a compelling exploration of resilience and fortitude embodied within the vulnerable act of almost lying down. The composition strategically places the central figure in a position that hints at repose, symbolizing a moment of introspection and self-discovery. Francis skillfully captures the essence of inner strength, challenging traditional perceptions of fortitude as a force demonstrated through upright posture or assertive gestures. The figure's almost reclined position suggests a different kind of power—one that emanates from within, resilient in moments of vulnerability. The artist's choice to depict strength in repose invites viewers to contemplate the deeper layers of resilience that exist beneath the surface. The use of this unconventional pose serves as a metaphor for the quiet, internal battles we all face, emphasizing that strength is not solely found in visible acts of defiance but also the quiet battles waged within one's psyche. Through skillful execution and thoughtful composition, "Strength Within" invites onlookers to appreciate the courage found in moments of contemplation and self-awareness. Oshorenoya David Francis prompts us to acknowledge and celebrate the inherent strength that lies dormant within us, waiting to be discovered in the most unexpected postures of vulnerability.
