Richness

2021 | Mixed Media: Acrylic, Denim, Fabric, Paper, Stretched Canvas - On Bars

"When we enter this world, life affords us no choice regarding our circumstances – whether we are born into wealth or poverty, we find ourselves thrust into a situation beyond our control. Yet, as we navigate life's paths, there is a pervasive desire to experience the privileges associated with affluence. We yearn to taste the opulence of the wealthy, to emulate their mannerisms, their lifestyles, and their luxuries. However, amidst this pursuit, we often neglect to question the true essence of richness. Is it solely defined by material wealth, or does it encompass deeper dimensions such as health, family, and inner peace?

In our relentless quest for riches, we may inadvertently compromise our integrity, sacrificing our honor and humanity. We become ensnared in the allure of wealth, grappling with its elusive definition. We attempt to paint our own portrait of richness, selecting from the myriad hues of existence. Yet, when we choose erroneously, we find ourselves bound to our choices, grappling with their consequences for a lifetime. It is imperative, therefore, that we discern our true aspirations and values, for the definition of richness ultimately lies within our individual perceptions and convictions."
