I believe we have to understand the past to design the future.

Working with the headline of the drop "change within continuity", i decided to look back at the previous system of operations (the fiat system) and create a revolutionary piece of the digital age (the crypto system).

Bridging the gap between the traditional and digital system with my works is what i've always been keen to do, and i exhibited it once more with this piece to bridge the gap between the fiat and the crypto system; like my friend puts it "she's literally minting eth, but make it clay" 

My inspiration was drawn from the 20 naira note; the character is a notable Nigerian potter (Ladi Kwali), born in 1925 in the Kwali village of northern Nigeria.

ladi kwali: future transmutation.

the universe is filled with happy accidents, surprises and unpredictability.  
nature is created out of a sum of many tiny pulsating objects that we now know as patterns; and it doesn't matter how accurate ones calculation may seem, so long as we're dealing with nature, it remains unpredictable.  
everything runs on a vicious cycle, we find/do something that makes us happy for a moment then find something that makes us sad or lonely again; it's all order and chaos.  
i should add that there's so much to be grateful about chaos,  because what’s the point of dreaming if we knew exactly when our dreams would come true?

 

order & chaos.

so much going on within and outside.  
so much noise, i'm lost in all of the chaos.

This piece cuts across various concepts; at it's core, it speaks about the natural inclination for people to find comfort in knowing they are not alone in their struggles.

When facing adversity or hardship, the validation that others share similar feelings can provide a sense of understanding and belonging alleviating the sense of isolation that often accompanies suffering.

A second concept this piece was created off of is the peace one finds in loving the enemy (their-selves) .


Misery Loves Company

holy ccow!

i used to think the worst thing in life was to end up all alone.  
it's not.  
the worst thing in life is to end up with people that make you feel alone.  
i am alone, but not lonely.  
i find solace in my company.  
i'm surrounded by my own aura,  
my own solace,  
and that's alone for me.
