About the Item
"Neglected Stone" serves as a poignant metaphor for the potential found within damaged individuals who emerge from underprivileged backgrounds to shine as stars in society. The young man in the artwork embodies the spirit of those who have faced adversity, yet refused to be defined by it. Just as a neglected stone can become the cornerstone of a grand structure, so too can those who have experienced hardship rise above their circumstances to become pillars of strength and inspiration.
The brown hat worn by the young man symbolizes the trials and struggles he has encountered throughout his life. It represents the weight of his past, the challenges that threatened to overshadow his potential. However, the hat also serves as a testament to his resilience—the ability to bear the weight of his history while moving forward with determination.
Against the backdrop of a vibrant blue, the artwork accentuates the stark contrast between the young man's journey and the potential that lies ahead. Blue, often associated with serenity and tranquility, represents a world of possibilities and a bright future. The blue background serves as a reminder that even amidst difficulties, hope and opportunity can emerge, paving the way for greatness to shine forth.
Adewale's artwork eloquently conveys the message that great beauty and strength can emerge from the depths of misfortune. Just as a diamond is formed under immense pressure, so too can individuals forged in the crucible of hardship display a brilliance that defies all odds. The young man in "Neglected Stone" epitomizes the triumph of the human spirit, illustrating that a resilient heart can overcome even the most adverse circumstances.
Moreover, the artwork serves as a poignant admonition to society not to write off anyone passing through hard times as totally useless. It is a call for compassion, understanding, and the acknowledgment that every individual has the potential for greatness, regardless of their past or current circumstances. By showcasing the young man's fortitude and determination, Adewale invites viewers to reflect on their own preconceptions and biases, urging them to see beyond the surface and recognize the inherent worth and potential in every human being.
In conclusion, "Neglected Stone" by Busari Adewale is a profound testament to the triumph of resilience and beauty amidst adversity. The young man's journey, depicted through the brown hat against a vibrant blue background, symbolizes the potential for greatness within individuals who have faced underprivileged pasts. The artwork conveys the message that damaged people can rise to become stars in society, just like the neglected stone that becomes the chief cornerstone. Adewale's masterpiece serves as a powerful reminder to embrace compassion and understanding, to shatter stereotypes, and to acknowledge the potential for greatness that lies within every individual. It urges us all to be the champions of hope and agents of change, fostering an inclusive society where everyone's light can shine bright, regardless of the challenges they have faced.

Walkman
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
The painting is about a brand of popular portable audio players manufactured and marketed by Sony since 1979. The original Walkman was a portable cassette player and its popularity made "Walkman" an unofficial term for personal stereos of any producer or brand.
By 2010, when production stopped, Sony had built about 200 million cassette-based Walkmans. The Walkman brand was extended to serve most of Sony's portable audio devices, including DAT players, MiniDisc players/recorders, CD players (originally Discman then renamed the CD Walkman), transistor radios, mobile phones, and digital audio/media players.
