A simple composition showing shape diversity

Note: I might have uploaded this previously but haven’t received the confirmation nor it shows in the feed. If it happens I did that twice, I apologize for the inconvenience.

Coexistence of shapes

X=love
X=connection
X=peace
X=tolerance
X=care

Did you know that different philosophical points of view also rhyme with Coexist?

The works have a human touch, given that coexistence is about people living & working together. The works are iconic coexist gestures.
Journeys:
Each of us on our own life journey, this work depicts the wonder of individual journeys working in, along and around each other.
Visions:
Is a cheeky work where many visions find a common gaze.
Like minds:
Is a work exploring the dynamic of people finding connection.

In this difficult period we all live in, there are many questions. Much as the uncertainty surrounding issues such as poverty, political and economic changes, human progress, political turmoil, social isolation, climate changes, human rights issues and freedoms.

Leaving your fate in the hands of others is in itself a resignation. So, choose how you’d like to live.

Make your dreams come true, work with yourself, try to be better, read books, stay or be creative, raise your voice, talk about what’s bothering you.

This not a ego push or ego pressure to become sad, or bad-competitive, but to be better for yourself.

It is time to live, do not just exist, do not stand idly by.

I have searched faces in a free image bank. The names of the photographers and the geolocation of the photo. The images were beautiful and highly defined, but I extremely narrowed the definition down to almost bit-code-like. We are in different places, with different aspects (determined by our race), but we live together on the planet and we are 99.99% genetically identical.

Religion, corruption, greed and polarized society personified in a high-contrast format. The approach itself rather emphasizes the the message instead of showing off design as such.

Coexistence is a macro-issue. But reconciling our inner fragments – our particles – is the first fundament for clearing the path to harmonic coexistence: in human relations, in society, in nature, as a tiny part of the universe. Recognizing and embracing those pieces as part of ourselves play a role in how we perceive light and darkness within and around us. When we account the multitude of shades in the space between two extremes we find the ground to leave positive impressions. In those intermediate shades we coexist.

Atlas of circles (2020) by République Studio, curated by Slanted Publishers.
From natural elements to invented objects, solid or liquid, huge or microscopic, things that makes us strong or vulnerable, scared or joyful, this way of depicting the links between nature and culture is based on the Mnémosyne Atlas of Aby Warburg. By playing with scales and circles, it reinforces the uniformity and the connection than can happen between items that compose our day-to-day life. Because everything is in constant dialogue, we need to re-evaluate our relationship with the planet and with others.

Regularity? Regularity.

A treaty that will be imposed on us if we ourselves do nothing to change.

Regularity is not, the reduction of wages, the layoffs, the economic and psychological uncertainty, the social isolation and the concentration of wealth, only for the few.
After the pandemic the questions are many, but there are answers.

Το be human, to think, to act.

This poster is actually a part of a short animation where about a week ago, The Pentagon released a U.F.O. video that confirms extraterrestrial life yet the government isn’t so sure what that is. While watching the video, I automatically linked it to COVID-19 as me & many others coped with the virus as this unorthodox being taking over. I coexist with COVID-19 just like a UFO.

“Ichi-go ichi-e” — “One lifetime, one meeting”

A Japanese four-character idiom that describes a cultural concept of treasuring the unrepeatable nature of a moment. The term reminds people to cherish any gathering that they may take part in, citing the fact that any moment in life cannot be repeated; even when the same group of people get together in the same place again, a particular gathering will never be replicated, and thus each moment is always a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
