Description
Oni Balogun’s "This I Promise" is a visual pledge to future generations, captured through the vibrant lens of childhood. A serene beach serves as the stage for two children on a horse—symbols of joy and the passing of time. Each element, from the boy’s water gun to the girl’s popsicle, is a nod to innocent pleasures and a deeper promise of presence and continuity.
Balogun’s personal story—the unfulfilled outings promised by an ailing father—infuses the work with a longing for what could have been and a resolve for what can be. His commitment is clear in the thoughtful composition, tender yet full of life’s vigor.
In this artwork, viewers are invited not just to observe, but to connect with their own experiences of promises and the universal desire to make lasting memories. "This I Promise" offers more than a glimpse into Balogun’s intentions; it is a universal story of love, resilience, and the bonds that endure.
