We believe it's time to grab the early editions of Samanta's work before they become unobtainable. Yesterday's release, The Quiet Wilderness, is an absolute stunner, and we will update this gallery with our selections shortly.

All art is a reflection. A reflection of the artists experiences. A reflection of humanity & culture. A reflection for the viewer, if they so choose to reflect upon it.

I have chosen to reflect upon @MattKane 's recent work:

For those who didn't know @MattKane 's "Proof of Origin" piece he created for @proof_xyz Grails Season III was recently revealed.

In the Grails Season III Artist reveal video, Matt shares & reflects on what artistic expression he wanted to achieve with the creation of this piece, derived from a picture he drew when he was 4 years & 4 months old. He states:

"I wanted to draw a line through history to connect my youngest moments to the work I know that's coming"

Matt also shares in this video a bit about his journey as an artist. He states:

"I was on my own to find my own voice"

Upon my own reflection on this piece & Matt's Etch & Lift, I think both of these pieces connect not only Matt 'to himself', but most importantly us to his art and all of us connecting to one another through it. I think Matt 'your voice is not alone', nor is anyone's. I think we are all connected. This is why I have found a strong connection to Matt's art and Etch in particular. In this gallery titled "Words Of Reflection" I wanted to combine the many words & art of "Etch & Lift" with that of Matt's "Proof of Origin" to express and draw a line through all of our history's that we are not alone and all connected. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did curating it.
