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.

Decorama - Mikati Slade Artwork

[Description]
Societies shape people's identities. Modern societies have become more and more consumption-centric. As a result, modern identities have become consumption-centric too.

But the world is changing. Economic malaise and natural catastrophies, like those of Japan, are changing our societies. And, as societies change, so do our identities.

This Japanese-Pop style artwork attempts to show that the modern consumption society is changing and people's identities are shifting toward new directions.

BUDS - Artwork of Mikati Slade

[Description]
On March 11, 2011, a 9.0 magnitude earthquake struck Japan. The following tsunami devastasted the north eastern coast and damaged nuclear power plants. Radiation in the air and sea is threatening the world environment right now. This artwork is dedicated to all the victims.

BUDS shows two persons with buds on their heads using the Japanese 8-bit graphics style. It is meant to talk about new beginnings and possibilities and instill hope for the future.

Destruction and the loss of life can make us despair. However, every end is also a beginning. New buds grow. Even in the most difficult circumstances, it is possible to find hope and a positive outlook for the future. This is the message of this artwork. Thank you.

hello. hello. - Mikati Slade Artwork

[Description]
hello. hello. offers an uncritical look at our social constructs of reality.
It is about what we want to hear and see, as opposed to what we often hear and see.
It is about the most adorable human forms, unwavering smiles, and friendly attitudes.
It is about a spontaneity without doubt or hesitation.
A measure of these qualities is present in children.
hello. hello. reflects this.
