Impermanence, Day 2
Impermanence, Day 2
I started the Impermanence Project to remind myself that nothing lasts forever- the bad or the good. Both of which or subjective, and what you make them. In the Impermanence Project, I use the same 56 by 56 inch canvas to create a new painting over and over again- one on top of the other. The only version of the painting exists here, as a 1/1 on this blockchain. Every painting is a reflection of myself, or something that I'm going through. There has been a lot of change in my world recently, and so this project is to remind me to go with the flow.
The Impermanence Project is also to bring up how we speak about the blockchain- this forever & everlasting thing. But, what about if the internet dies, or the power grids go out, or one day in the future the blockchain becomes obsolete- kind of like how pigeons used to be a huge form of communication, but today they're thought of as a dirty city bird. The point is- everything changes. So, in the infancy of blockchain- how will it evolve, and where do we draw the line of impermanence with the internet?
This painting is specifically to pay respects to the elders of benevolence who have come before me. To honor their struggles, their sacrifices, their wisdom, and their love. We could not exist without our ancestors. We would be lost without wisdom. Whether it is my parents, or 100 generations ago- I am grateful for every single step that was taken out of love so that I could live today.
May this painting bring it's owner a sense of family, support, sovereignty, strength, and wisdom. Are you listening to the winds and waters as your ancestors did? Their wisdom lives inside you, if you quiet and listen you will hear them speak in many ways. What will you hear when you listen clear?
