the ups and downs: enjoy the ride

here's my entry for the Art Moves Festival 2023, a billboard competition for rising artists.

this year's theme was “What shift in our perspective do we need to see the bright side of reality, not just the dark one?” and to me, specially this year, was to embrace what life throws at you.

I've always thought a lot about the oyster metaphor, on how it need a iny tiny bity grain of sand to penetrate it in order to transform the uncomfortable into something as beautiful as a pearl. again, that whole cliché of "it's how you deal with it" so yep, despite the ups and downs just... enjoy the ride!
