[Official Theme]
Rites of Passage

[My Concept]
Once in a while, an important event or realization happens that changes us forever. This change often comes with mixed feelings - fear and hope, loss and opportunity. This artwork tries to capture these feelings. The skulls is our fear for the future, our loss of the past. The hearts is our hope and excitement for the future, our optimism that all will go well, our love for ourselves. The bows blessedly tie all together. Overall, this work tries to communicate a natural and dynamic optimism about the future of people in times of change.

POPALOOZA - Mikati Slade Artwork

[Overview]
This is an art-building in online virtual world Second Life.
Size: 80W, 80D, 70H (meter)
Exhibited at PiRats Art Network Gallery (France), Oct 2011.

[Concept]
The world is in turmoil. People around the world are troubled by the unfortunate situations that they find themselves in. Some have chosen to fight, some have not. Some are winning, some are losing. For the most part, the status quo remains the same. For many, life is merciless.

This artwork blesses everyone and everything. Good and bad, fortunate and unfortunate, life and death. It endorses living without doubt or fear. It looks straight into the future, rising above death.
