As I reflect on my past experiences at Art Basel in Miami Beach, I'm reminded of the importance of art in inspiring novel solutions and advancing human evolution. However, my recent experiences have left me feeling uninspired and disappointed.

Art has always been a symbol of humanity, with symbols being the foundation of our creativity and innovation. The exchange of knowledge and ideas through migration and cultural exchange has shaped our evolution as humans. Unfortunately, art has often been seen as superficial and shallow, but its influence on our evolution is profound.

We need these symbols to keep creating and evolving. However, the current state of the art world is discouraging, focusing on repetition and overpriced, meaningless works. Anyone can claim to be an artist, but not everyone creates something meaningful. This is a reflection of our society's values, where deception and lies are more prevalent than truth and inspiration.


What is iconic? Iconic is acceptable to all, unforgettable, and lasting. It inspires us to create something greater. I believe that artists need to start creating again, focusing on true knowledge and symbols that will inspire future generations.

The art world has become a reflection of our society, where everything is overpriced and true creativity is lacking. It's time for a change, and it's time for us to start creating something meaningful. We need to think about what's truly inspiring and what will last.
