"Cynthia was born on the planet Gnarbracle H159. She went to an ordinary intergalactic high school on the outskirts of Orion. Her favorite pastime was going to the mall after school. 

Every day, Cynthia walks past the boutique window of the famous designer Gnarlentino and looks at one pair of shoes. Oh no, someone bought the last pair!"

Like other said, red poppies — represents consolation, remembrance, and death. Memento Mori. Or, 'sleep' because the opium extracted from them is a sedative, and death because of the common blood-red color of the red poppy in particular.

But,

In contrast with meanings connected to death and sleep, poppy flowers symbolize beauty, magic, consolation, humility, fertility, prosperity, and eternal life. The bright petals of poppies are a stunning contrast in fields of green. The large, delicate petals are a unique feature of these beautiful flowers.

An emotional intelligence primer in the form of a tender illustrated woman & Poppies, an empowered retelling both of 'memento mori' and prosperity, a meditation on what it means to have enough, a serenade to the art of listening as the gateway to self-understanding, and more. :)

Poppies

When you realize you are mortal.

In the beginning was the white page. In the beginning was the girls in orbit… In the beginning was color. In the beginning was music.

*sigh* ..of all the hundred-some billion of us who ever lived and died — to leave the planet on which we had evolved several million years earlier. It was an era of terror and wonder — science had swung open new portals of possibility for knowing the miracle of life more intimately, and politics had hijacked science to build new weapons for destroying that miracle.

Cosmic Girls

“If thou art perfectly at leisure… walk in, and view the wonders of my enchanted garden. The beauty of a flower… may serve to awaken an interest in nature, which shall not sleep again.”

Thari, Opuscula - 2024

The charming visual tale of an Utari (Devanagari: उत्तरा; IAST: Uttarā; called Utarā in Sanskrit) is the name of the youngest daughter of King Wirata and Queen Sudesna in the Mahabharata epic. A symbol of beauty and goodness that spreads light and warmth around her.

This is a portrait of my representation of Dewi Utari, who sits waiting for her beloved, Abimanyu, the last incarnation of the Pandawa Lima, the eldest son of Arjuna, to return from the battlefield. At that time, she was pregnant with her child, who was the key holder of the last descendant of the Pandawa, Parikesit. It is a symbol of the birth of a new leader in an era of darkness, and Utari is the one who delivers hope for the future of humanity.

"The avenging heroes are now being dreamed up and awaited.
They are already feared by the pitiless and blessed by her and maybe by you.
A moving wordless story about War, Hope, and Keeping the Light Alive."

Like a precious, fleeting foam over the sea of ​​suffering arises all those works of art, in which a single individual lifts herself for an hour so high above her destiny that her happiness shines like a sun and appears to all who see it as something eternal and as a happiness of their own.

Utari

A radiant celestial being holds the seeds of creation, each bursting with life and mystery. Below her, a surreal garden thrives with sentient flora and watchful eyes, where dreamlike figures appear—some asleep, others in awe. A guardian stands watch over this enchanting scene.

Reverie of the Realm

"The yakuza originates from feudal Japan era - 15th century - in the early 1600's, being known by common people as kabuki-mono ("the insane ones"). They dressed eccentrically for the time and were feared for their violent behavior and for carrying disproportionately large swords. They had a strong code of honor and loyalty to each other, willing to protect themselves against anyone who threatened the integrity of one of the group's members.

It was the Tokugawa era, at the time of the shogunate, a time when the country was leaving a long period of civil war and entering a long period of peace built by the unification of the island conquered by the shogun Ieyasu Tokugawa. Peace, however, meant unemployment for more than 500,000 samurai and artisans specialized in the manufacture of war weapons.

Many of these joined the mercantile activity, others dedicated themselves to agrarian life, or became bureaucrats, philosophers or teachers, settling in the new cities that were growing. However, not everyone was able to establish themselves in the new society that was emerging, since the isolation of more than 200 years and the strong notion of tradition embedded in the center of Japanese society left little room for social mobility for the excluded warriors.

These socially displaced warriors ended up finding refuge in criminal groups that ended up securing their status and respect through violence, maintaining themselves through extortion and theft from ordinary citizens."

When you surrender, the problem ceases to exist. Try to solve it, or conquer it, and you only set up more resistance.

Monforte Altarpiece (c. 1470)
The Adoration of the Pepe

Original painting by Hugo van der Goes
housed at Gemaldegalerie Staatliche Museen zu Berlin

I choose to rework painting from Hugo is just because he carefully crafts a composition of several themes, weaving and skilfully blending narratives to produce a telling masterpiece of iconography.

..with a little touch of Opuscula itself.

When a cybernetic mischief chimp decides to embrace high fashion--bananas, biomechanical arms, and a jar full of genius. Who knew evolution had such a sense of humor? A tribute to the ChimpersNFT, where the wild meets the wired.
