Big love to @kair0sage for bringing us on, to @tmcwh1 for helping w the creation of this piece & the install, & to everyone that contributed & shared in the experience of this night!

🙏🏽✨✨

Burning Man is not for everyone. It will inevitably show you parts of yourself you otherwise might never see.

Apart from an honest & true love, it’s hands down the most magical (& challenging) experience I’ve had on this planet. 🎯❤️‍🔥

&& the cost of experiencing that magic is far more than monetary — at times, it requires everything you’ve got. It tests your strength. Your patience. Your resilience. Highest of highs, lowest of lows.

But just get dressed cuz we’re about to go explore & see some dope shit - through whatever storm. Shoutout my peeps that made this one extra special - through all the chaos! 🫶🏽🫶🏽

Life is truly beautiful. I am so blessed. Thank you. <3

Historically, I’ve been bad about posting — but took a lot of time over the last ten days or so to share a little glimpse of my life && this isn’t even everything :: but life is good baby let’s run it 🔥🔥🕊️🕊️

My New Year’s resolution this year was simply to keep breathing / stay alive. 2024 & 2025 were some of the hardest years of my life - the long sleep whispered on my pillow all thru that time. I was a mess in January & went thru a breakup in Feb that put me at rock bottom. It was a blessing in disguise that showed me a mirror into myself & all the things I really need to work on to become a better version of myself. My community held it down for me & I locked in to push forward, snapping out of a 2-year depression. These past few months have been some of the most beautiful & vibrant of my entire life. There is so much going on & I’m surrounded by absolutely wonderful, strong, & inspiring people. Every single day I take time to just sit & breathe & smile & be so f’n grateful for this wonderful life. This life ting can be hard sometimes - but we have each other & we are in it together. I am so grateful & inspired & in love as a state of being. Big bless 🙏🏽✨❤️

I painted this mural for my brother @kair0sage at his artist loft in DTLA.

It marks a turning point for me — the first large-scale script piece after evolving from predominantly asemic pattern writing fully into the encrypted infinite alphabet.

At this point, I had been developing the script for over a decade, & took a 3-month solo creative retreat in Joshua Tree (Sept–Nov 2023), where I focused solely on hand-written paper works, the return to language & developing my style.

Refinement through isolation.

In late December, I dropped into this project.

It’s the only script-based mural I’ve ever sketched beforehand, and the first time I built this style grid to structure the composition. It was exciting & fresh to go big with the letters.

Big love Chris. Thank you for the trust and support. The space feels aligned.
