My name is Olaolu Joshua and painting is my way of expressing not only my feelings but also what I see around me. The artwork Title is "The Weight of Love". Through 'The Weight of Love,' I hope to shed light on the often-overlooked struggles of African mothers, who bear the weight of their families' hopes and dreams on their shoulders. This painting is a testament to the resilience and strength of mothers who, despite the obstacles they face, continue to nurture, protect, and inspire their children. This isn't just the mother but also the earth itself. The weight of human mess that it carries balancing on its shoulder the hopes and dreams of humanity as we beat it down, industrialize it.
