The Evolution of Creation
The universe is constantly evolving, and as creative expressions of the universe, we as humans, are constantly evolving as well. The art we create is a representation of this evolutionary process. As I have evolved into a more conscious human being, the art I have created, has evolved with me.

This is ground zero in reference to the discovery of my signature style. Not only did I learn to master this newly discovered skill, but I also learned a lot about myself in the process of this creation.

A declaration engraved into the currency of a country, establishing itself with a separation of church and state, written into the First Amendment of it's own Constitution. This statement is just the tip of the ice berg, in representation to the hypocrisy demonstrated by its government on a regular basis, claiming to be the "Land of the Free" where most occupants are unconsciously enslaved to the system and money that perpetuates its power.
​
We live in an illusionary state of freedom, enslaved to the taxes shoved down our throats, the rules we agree to, and the boxes we put ourselves in, in the name of that freedom. Our money is being taken, we do not control or approve of the resources it is funding, and our voices are not being heard. Our needs are not being met, and the freedom is conditional. The school systems, the political systems, and the social systems have been designed to brainwash us into thinking this is not only the best way, but it is the only way to remain safe, secure, protected, and free. This mural is shining light onto the level of high end manipulation that we experience from our government, sadly depicting the reality of being trapped as prisoners of a system that we originally created, ironically enough, to escape this very fate.

Thousands of blunt wraps, coming together, to paint a picture of the thousands of hours spent, blunts smoked, and energy invested, in respect to the work of the rappers on this mural, representing their life, their story, and their art, delivered in their way. Their journey, like mine, was a challenging one. This is far from a game, it is a way of life, and I honor the artists that unapologetically speak their truth, inspiring others, like myself, to do the same.

The initial intention behind this piece was to raise the bar in sharpening my spray foam skills, presenting myself with the greatest challenge thus far, completing an over-sized sculpture of a human face. The direction this piece will take could lead down one of a few roads that I have in mind. Updates will be posted in regards to the evolution of this piece & the message I will deliver in creating it.
