Grace
Edition 1 of 1
There is an ancient belief that during the active labor mother, while in a state of weakened frontal brain cortex (a state of deep meditation and deactivated consciousness), “goes to the stars after her baby’s spirit and they come back together”. This is my wife’s portrait breastfeeding our two month old baby. I could feel the bonding between them and capturing that moment made me feel bonded with them too. She then started singing lullaby to soothe him, which made that moment even more precious and complete. It was a lullaby based on “Cradle Song”, a poem by Rafael Patkanian (1830-1892), one of the most popular Armenian poets. A lullaby with powerful underlying meaning and beautifully simple melody which speaks to all Armenians as a whole. Nightingale, leave our garden, Where soft dews the blossoms steep ; With thy litanies melodious
Come and sing my son to sleep!
Nay, he sleeps not for thy chanting,
And his weeping hath not ceased.
Come not, nightingale ! My darling
Does not wish to be a priest.
O thou thievish, clever jackdaw,
That in coin findest thy joy,
With thy tales of gold and profit
Come and soothe my wailing boy !
Nay, thy chatter does not lull him,
And his crying is not stayed.
Come not, jackdaw ! for my darling
Will not choose the merchant’s trade.
Wild dove, leave the fields and pastures
Where thou grievest all day long;
Come and bring my boy sweet slumber
With thy melancholy song !
Still he weeps. Nay, come not hither,
Plaintive songster, for I see
That he loves not lamentations,
And no mourner will he be.
Leave thy chase, brave-hearted falcon!
Haply he thy song would hear.
And the boy lay hushed, and slumbered,
With the war-notes in his ear. English translation of the poem by Rafael Patkanian. Photo taken by medium format black&white film. Yerevan, Armenia, 2020.

Iris
Edition 1 of 1
During the Covid-19 lockdown, Brooke began contemplating the deep isolation we experienced as a collective on a global scale. Personal transformations began happening to us all – behind closed doors. As a reaction to the times, Brooke began collecting reclaimed doors from her community in Telluride, CO, and transforming them into works of fine art. During this time, she also used Virtual Reality as a tool to escape the current lockdown situation. With a background in oil painting, Brooke works in Virtual Reality to translate her paintings into immersive 3D simulations. When Brooke puts on a VR headset, she is displaced from her physical reality and is transported into the virtual realm. With controls in both hands, she digitally paints with light and animated brushes in 360 degrees. Ultimately in VR, Brooke is creating her own experiential worlds that surpass the limitations of painting. “Iris” is featured in Brooke’s “Unknown Zone” exhibition at the Arlo Wynwood hotel during Miami Art Week 2022. The exhibition features three mind-bending, portal-inspired installations that bridge both physical and digital realms. “Iris” is featured in Brooke’s 33 ft mixed reality portal installation. The sculpture explores the notion of the multiverse: a theoretical reality that includes an infinite number of parallel universes. Five of Brooke’s fine art doors are embedded into the whimsical turf facade. Animations of Einbender’s Virtual Reality dreamscapes appear through the windows of each door, creating captivating portals that pull the audience into different otherworldly dimensions. 10% of the proceeds from this sale will be donated to the Ocean Rescue Alliance (ORA), a Florida-based nonprofit that specializes in designing innovative techniques to restore marine environments. The goal of ORA’s artificial reef program is to construct structures that mimic natural reef habitats and inspire with functional art.

Why Artists are Depressed?
Edition 1 of 1
As an artist I can 100% be sure to say that all artists struggled at least once during the creative process, I’m sure you also got stuck in your head looking at the canvas, feeling the social media pressure asking for you to be active or you will be forgotten because that happens to all of us small artists, we get forgotten pretty easy, and people don’t realize how that has power over us, how it disturbs our creative process and how it can drive us crazy, make us feel bad and even not worth it. People that appreciate art should have all these factors when judging art, people should ask three questions before any final judgments… – What is the feeling behind this art? – How long did it take to developt this idea? – How hard was it for the artist to draw this emotion? Those 3 questions can give you a brand new perspective on art and how hard it is for us to show our emotions in art because besides all the pressure and time it took to create, we are still putting our heart into the canvas, making us a target and feeling vulnerable… As an artist I can say that my value was never something I thought and now my self-esteem is low as ever, I’m afraid to show emotions so I draw them, I got hurt too many times to feel ok with showing my deepest thoughts, but I don’t want you to follow my steps, I want u to be better to become a better version of yourself, never is enough and if you can achieve better don’t be afraid and fight for it! Be better, be amazing be the person of your dreams!

Illusion of Reality
Edition 1 of 1
There are two basic interpretations of reality: realism, which states that reality exists objectively, phenomenalism, which states that reality is only discovered by man in the process of cognition. If you indoctrinate a person with an illusion, it can become reality in his subjective sphere. Illusions are powerful and dangerous, but to many of us they seem a safe haven. Digital art by MJ2022
