I finally visited the Hokusai exhibition here in Rome. Standing in front of my favorite masterpiece, "The Great Wave of Kanagawa," was a powerful experience. 🌊
To me, this wave isn't just about water; it’s a profound symbol of resilience. It represents the inner strength we must find when life gets overwhelmingβ€”a necessity to keep going despite the odds. Hokusai himself lived a difficult, turbulent life, yet he transformed those struggles into eternal art.
Watch my shot of the original woodblock print and a little 8-bit tribute: a C64-style animation I made to honor his genius. πŸ‘ΎπŸ•ΉοΈ
