- Ikigaii collection
- Ikigai ; 'purpose of being/living'
The Ikigaii collection aims to explore the meaning of it all, and devote focus to being more appreciative of the prosaic moments of life, in search for the realization that we're just part of this brief moment in time ; so what's the point of not enjoying it to its fullest?
It'll all be over before we realize, unfortunately or fortunately, so in this split second of time we call life, search, ask, answer, think, provide, receive, help, feel, appreciate, learn, find, love & enjoy ; find your purpose for being, without compromising your well-being, and all will fall in place for a fulfilling existence.
; Will there ever even be birth of one's well-being with an absence of purpose?
“He who has a why to live for can bear with almost anyhow."
- With so much negativity, evil, selfishness, destruction, and the list goes on, thrown at us constantly through the different media outlets, which with social media (though having some benefits too) has only elevated the notion of the world being full of constant cynicism, greed and general negativity (for most people as few seem to seek the brighter side of things at all times). Ikigaii is a collection of artworks made in various different styles aiming to highlight that regardless of one's interpretation of reality (hence different styles), there's beauty to be found at all times in all places.
