A Modern African Tarot
The second card in A Modern African Tarot continues the journey begun by O FOOL. Where the Fool walks forward into layered realities, I MAGICIAN stands still—anchored, intentional, and aware of his tools. This card reimagines the traditional Magician archetype through the lens of African intellect, spiritual agency, and modern mastery.

The Unnamed: Chronicles of a Faceless Journey
There is a VHS tape somewhere in my mind, dusty and forgotten, labeled simply "LIFE." It sits among relics I cannot name—fragments of bone, the architecture of a ribcage, remnants of what once was. I have been thinking about this tape recently, wondering if anyone would bother to play it. Wondering what they would find if they did.

Starting My Guitar Journey With Izzire Guitars Co. AI-Generated.
Learning guitar was always one of those dreams I kept close but could never really reach. Every time I heard someone play, a small part of me wished it was me. Life kept happening and my budget never allowed me to actually buy my own guitar. I used to borrow guitars from friends sometimes and those moments always reminded me how much I wanted to learn for real.

The Woman Who Became a Mirror
In the history of performance art, few moments have struck the human conscience as sharply as what unfolded in a modest gallery in Naples in 1974. It was an experiment that involved no words, no movement, and no stage—only a woman, a table of seventy-two objects, and the unpredictable landscape of the human soul. To this day, Marina Abramović’s Rhythm 0 remains one of the most disturbing, enlightening, and unforgettable explorations of human behavior ever witnessed.

Painters in the Middle East 🖌️. AI-Generated.
The Evolution of Middle Eastern Painters: From Ancient Roots to Modern Masterpieces Art in the Middle East has always been more than decoration—it has been a language, a record of civilizations, and a form of identity that survived wars, empires, and cultural shifts. While Western art history often highlights the Renaissance or Impressionism, the Middle East holds one of the oldest artistic traditions in the world. Yet the journey of painting as a modern artistic form in the region is a story that truly came to life during the last century.

psychedelic pattern art: a surrealist portfolio by ⸘jason alan‽. Content Warning. AI-Generated.
welcome to the vivid unconscious, a collection exploring the intensity of the world through non-naturalistic color and abstract patterns. this portfolio is split into two distinct yet stylistically connected series: psychedelic wildlife and surreal portraiture. whether depicting the familiar silhouette of a zebra exploding with vibrant geometry, or diving in the symbolic weight of psychological burdens with the piece titled "death," my work uses vivid contrast and expressionism to illuminate the energy and unseen tensions within life. i invite you to explore this world where the familiar is constantly shifting, intensely colored, and profoundly honest.
