blessings all,
i jusT got back from a five-week dream in japan with real life pokémon 👾 some-odd-rare, holographic tYPE.
it’s been a while IG,
i’m pikachu: “what’s poppiN” 🍙
after visiting temples and infrastructures built in the 700’s/800’s era - mY perspective on what it means to persevere has broadened.
who knows what it’ll take to find balance in our current socio-political climate (global). what i do know is that arT, culture, and spirituality continue to be at the center of societal crisis. imagining for ourselves & the next generation…
what is japan doing differently that the rest of the world could benefit from? what is japan prioritizing that has led large populations of people to co-exist peacefully in spaces with others?
more on this later,
i am inviting you to a show coming up “alert” [❤️🔥]
