The title, "Purple Couch," serves as a focal point for the composition. The color purple is often associated with creativity, spirituality, and transformation. In this context, it symbolizes the woman's ability to find inner peace and transform her outlook despite external challenges. The couch itself becomes a symbol of comfort and resilience, a place where the woman seeks solace and discovers the strength to weather the storms of life.

Oluyemi's personal reflection on the creation of this artwork adds depth and meaning to "Purple Couch." She mentions that despite facing a multitude of issues, she found herself seated at peace, a state of mind she deemed unusual for her. This revelation led her to the profound realization that "If it's out of your hands, then it deserves freedom out of your mind." This golden rule, as she puts it, is beautifully encapsulated in the artwork itself, as the woman on the couch embodies the essence of letting go and finding serenity in the face of life's uncertainties.

Beyond the central figure, the composition hints at the storm brewing outside the window. Dark, turbulent clouds loom ominously, representing the challenges and worries that often surround us. Yet, the woman remains unperturbed, emphasizing the power of mindfulness and the ability to focus on what truly matters—finding peace within.

In conclusion, "Purple Couch" by Oluwapelumi Oluyemi is a masterpiece that resonates deeply with anyone who has experienced life's storms and sought solace within. Through her artistic talent, Oluyemi has captured a profound moment of inner peace and resilience, reminding us all of the power of mindfulness and the wisdom of letting go of that which is beyond our control. "Purple Couch" is not just a work of art; it's a reflection of the human spirit's capacity to find peace and tranquility amidst life's tempests, offering viewers a valuable lesson in the pursuit of inner harmony.
