At first glance, "What About Me" presents a young lady positioned sideways, capturing the viewer's attention with her striking beauty. The artist skillfully renders the intricate details of her hair, every curl and twist seemingly reflecting the twists and turns of life itself. The side face visible to the viewer suggests a sense of intimacy and contemplation as if the subject is caught in a moment of self-reflection.
Change is an inevitable part of life, and it often evokes mixed emotions within us. "What About Me" captures this complexity by juxtaposing the stillness of the subject with the implied movement in her hair. It reminds us that while the external world may transform us, we are also active participants in our own evolution. The intricate patterns in the hair symbolize the various experiences, challenges, and triumphs that have shaped the young lady's journey.
"They Said I Changed a Lot, I Said a Lot Changed Me":
The title itself holds profound meaning. "They said I changed a lot, I said a lot changed me." These words challenge the notion that change is inherently negative. Society often perceives change as a departure from one's true self, but the artwork offers a different perspective. It suggests that personal growth and transformation are natural responses to the ever-changing world around us. It reminds us that change should be embraced and celebrated, as it has the power to shape us into stronger, more resilient individuals.
The positioning of the young lady's side face serves as an invitation for the viewer to engage in self-reflection. As we gaze upon her, we are prompted to question our own journey and the changes we have undergone. The vulnerable expression on her face evokes empathy and encourages us to delve into our own experiences of growth and transformation.
Oluwafemi Akanmu's artwork, "What About Me," captivates viewers with its intricate details, compelling composition, and thought-provoking title. Through this masterpiece, the artist encourages us to embrace change and recognize the transformative power it holds. It reminds us that our journey is shaped not only by external forces but also by our own responses to them. As we gaze upon the young lady's side face, we are reminded of our own stories and the ways in which we have been changed. In the end, "What About Me" asks us to reflect on our own transformations and celebrate the beauty that lies within them.
