DETAILS
Artwork Rationale:
As a passionate shopper, the thought of entering a marketplace brings me immense excitement. Through this acrylic painting, I aimed to convey the elation and fulfillment that comes with purchasing the things we love and need. I wanted to capture that special moment just after making a purchase, when you're eagerly awaiting the arrival of your item or that feeling of anticipation and joy as you receive a notification that your package has been delivered. I believe that
everyone should have access to this wonderful experience of meaningful exchange, which is why my artwork is inclusive and welcoming to all. I was
inspired by the work of UNWomen, which states that investing in an African
women's economic empowerment is a crucial step towards achieving gender equality, eradicating poverty, and driving inclusive economic growth. In keeping with this, I chose to feature a contemporary African woman as the main figure in my artwork, as a symbol of the joy of shopping that is available and can open
access to all, in this incredible marketplace.
