0x002A···Ec82It was an essential step in my practice to find a way to parody one of the most significant pharmaceuticals on the planet in Times Square. It's relevant to my general practice, personal life, and voice while having a broader meaning beyond medication. A stunt like this is where artists can find real power, and I consider it more towards performance art than any other medium. It is funny how ambiguous the response to one of my most contemporary works has been in the web3 communities: mostly silence and some big fans of the whole thing.
Promoting a sarcastic, anti-neo-capitalist piece in an economically driven environment can be challenging. Still, it is primordial to bring these discussions right in these circles. As I've inscribed in Prozac Youth, "It wasn't made for your walls." I am not here to please anyone, and I find myself more and more comfortable with that sentiment.
I am at a crossroads, and staircases guide me far away from the shores of what is sure to work: a blue background and a human form. Although very meaningful to me, their symbolism reaches few. I could do thousands of these to satisfy what is expected of me. Still, they would get emptier and emptier, and I've found that the love they get online is more linked to comfort and recognizability than the actual reflections I suggest. I cannot stay static; I would become bored and uninteresting, and mostly, I would not be helping myself grow in any way.
