Mental health and addiction is terrifying, but not as terrifying for how they treat it and those suffering.

Last nights launch of the F: CLASSIC Loopwheel made Collection at @biroshouten and my exhibit inspired by it all. It’s been about 8 years since I’ve had an actual art show, so it was an amazing experience to create and collab with @culturement @birocompany to bring a collection of ideas and beliefs to life through my art. This is a series of paintings reflecting on the relationship of time, culture, death and life. We explore these themes through the elements of water and hues of indigo that represent the Japanese denim and natural dying techniques used in organic fabric coloring along with the act of hands sewing and stitching together the stories and culture to pass down to next generations. When things are made with passion and crafted well, they outlast even the people themselves and that is something I truly believe many people and brands have forgotten over the years. @biroshouten believes in the three F’s, Fundamentals, Forever, Future, which is why all of their products are made in Japan by people who have mastered their craft and continue to do so to pass down the knowledge and quality and sustain their traditions and textiles. Creating items with the purpose of having that item for future generations to appreciate and use. Also the art touches upon the connections between destruction and creation, and how sometimes from the chaos and ashes, arises the most beautiful and thriving life forms. Some of these concepts really resonate with me and the passed year I’ve had so being able to paint it all out has been very cathartic and recharging. And it really reminds me to always Create with Responsibility. #starvingartistph #culturement #birocompany #shouten #singaporeart #indigo
