WHAT IS LIFE
WHAT IS LIFE
What is life But falling and rising And twisting and turning
If you are lucky You will rise More than you fall
You will turn More than you twist You will land With two feet
On the ground
If you are lucky
If you live If you learn If you adapt If you change
Then you can rise
Fall Twist Turn
Get up And do it
All again
In addition to painting I write a lot and this piece was inspired by the above prose. The nature of human existence has always been under my examination in my practise, and the rollercoaster of life experience has become something that I am all too familiar with.
Both the original painting and the animation are being exhibited in #irl galleries in Tunisia, the home of Kenza Zouari, of my first friends and collectors in the crypto/nft space. Since meeting in a Clubhouse room more than a year ago we have bonded over shared ideals around the potential to be explored in this new era of digital art and how this is impacting all areas of society. As I have travelled from Australia to also be here in person for the exhibitions, we are in a way a physical example of how the the crypto art space has bought many people together. There have been many positive outcomes, and this is just the beginning.
The big philosophical questions about life are best considered with good company and in community and this is essentially what this piece is all about.
