"Difference" celebrates the beauty of individuality and the significance of each person's presence. The artwork portrays two identical women, symbolizing the inherent equality we all possess. However, subtle variations and nuances in their expressions and postures emphasize their unique identities and the diverse qualities they bring to the world. The accompanying text further emphasizes the value of every individual. The words "Every individual matters. Every individual has a role to play. Every individual makes a difference" remind us that each person has a distinct purpose and influence in the tapestry of humanity. Afolabi's artwork encourages viewers to appreciate and honor the individuality of others, recognizing that our differences are what allow us to create a harmonious and dynamic society. Afolabi's artwork also incorporates a spiritual dimension, drawing inspiration from the concept of grace. The biblical quote, "For by grace, you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast," underscores the transformative power of grace in our lives. It highlights the notion that our worth is not determined by our achievements or external factors but is inherently bestowed upon us. The artist's inclusion of this text suggests that embracing and celebrating individuality is an act of grace. It reminds us that our differences are not a cause for division but an opportunity for growth, understanding, and unity. By recognizing the unique gifts and qualities in ourselves and others, we can foster a more inclusive and compassionate society. Afolabi's artistic technique adds depth and symbolism to the artwork. The use of identical women represents the inherent equality among individuals, while their subtle differences emphasize the importance of embracing and celebrating uniqueness. The artist's attention to detail in capturing facial expressions, body language, and intricate patterns adds a layer of complexity to the artwork, encouraging viewers to delve into the individual narratives and experiences represented. The composition and color palette chosen by Afolabi also contribute to the artwork's message. The balanced composition of the two women signifies the importance of harmony and collaboration. The vibrant colors and patterns reflect the diversity and richness of human experiences, symbolizing the various perspectives and backgrounds that contribute to the collective tapestry of humanity.
