Blessed be the birds singing your name between tree branches,
Blessed be the moon compassing me from rivers to cities, to you,
Blessed be the star lights the eyes of my heart, blessed be the wind crisscrossing my path with the smell of roses,
Blessed be the wayfarers littered across the road as moonlight tales, as signposts to love- to us.
Ayanfe, when I chose you from a sea of girls, I was trying to eavesdrop on God’s heartbeat, trying to dance to its rhythm in an aching world, for I have lived so long in the ruins of dead memories and your love is an elixir, a prayer undoing the ache of yesteryears, a voice touching wounds to wings.

Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (Issued by the Gallery)
"Innocence" is a captivating artwork that evokes a sense of empathy and reflection. The central figure, a woman, stands as a representation of someone who has been wrongly accused and unfairly painted with guilt. Oladapo's skilled brushwork brings forth the emotions of sorrow, pain, and resilience, creating a visually striking piece.
The woman's expression carries a mix of sadness and determination, reflecting the weight of the false accusations. The use of vibrant red in the painting symbolizes the intense emotions and turmoil she has experienced. The artist's attention to detail, particularly in capturing the subtle nuances of her facial expression, adds depth and authenticity to the artwork.
"Innocence" highlights the profound impact that false accusations can have on an individual's life and psyche. The emphasis on being "painted red" with lies alludes to the damaging effect of baseless accusations, which can tarnish one's reputation and cause immense pain.
The artwork also emphasizes the resilience and strength required to maintain one's truth in the face of adversity. The woman's unwavering gaze and the determination in her expression portray her refusal to be defined by false accusations. She stands as a symbol of the human spirit's ability to rise above injustice and assert one's innocence.
Through "Innocence," Oladapo reminds us of the importance of embracing our authenticity and standing firm in our truth, even when faced with unfounded allegations. It urges viewers to question the validity of accusations and to seek justice and understanding, both for themselves and others who may have experienced similar hardships.
