Why

Why by Gio Karlo (Mixed Medium)

"When the question of purpose comes to mind We ask “why?” Why are we here? Why do we keep going? I know for one, we’re not here merely for the hype or for short lived propaganda We’re here for the long haul and a steady agenda. We’re here to build something that lasts beyond the pixels, and games of apes and aggressive bears. We’re here to cultivate something purposeful, to prepare-- Prepare the ground for what will truly last. We’re here as ones that were once dust but created to create. Having the breath of life we were called to dominate- Dominate spheres of influence, where we are each called to bloom, where we are set to make a difference."

I chose this verse because it resonated with me deeply. At the time, I was just going through the motions... I was burnt out from art. I thought what is the point on all this? Why do I still continue creating art when it won't get me anywhere. I wanted to just be inside my comfort box and not hear about the market, the price of what coin, the huge amounts of sales in the nft art scene... it was all so loud.

But then, something struck me hard – a gentle reminder of who I am: an artist.
