The Exchange
We operate in a space that rewards
Safety.
Predictability.
Rinse, repeat.
The act of sharing artwork and in turn, collecting—has become
Sterile.
Cookie-cutter.
Muscle memory.
The humanity is removed, in the name of convenience.
no need for real connection...
There should be more required, on both sides.
A real energy exchange.
***
For the last year, I have knocked on doors
Of curators. Platforms.
Gatekeepers.
We all must stop waiting for permission.
No one’s coming to say, it is a good time to innovate.
We must believe—
In ourselves.
In others.
Act with intent.
***
I have been inspired as fuck by all of you.
Little by little these experiences have gone from something fun-
To a genuine exchange.
Time, emotion, energy, intention.
I hope that stays with everyone,
For a while at least.
It will with me.
