~에 Pink We Trust
collection
The artwork under the '~에 Pink We Trust' art collection (In Pink We Trust), honors equity, love, and the power of the embrace.
About the Artwork Under this Collection:
“~에 Pink We Trust Collection. Drink up from a cup meant to support equity, love, and the power of the embrace. The artwork under the “ ~에 Pink We Trust" art collection. honors equity, love, and the power of the embrace.
It is a collection that is deeply engaged in looking back at what we did while existing intentionally in the present and, at the same time, looking forward as we create an evolving version of who we are as individuals and people.
The greatest danger on the path to an evolving society is the unexamined repetition of painful memes.
I used the term “ meme,” as it was introduced some thirty years ago by the British biologist Richard Dawkins.
In his writing, he says, “A meme has its own opportunities for replication, and its phenotypic effects ( meaning that physical manifestations do arise from its replication), and there is no reason why success in a meme should have any connection whatever with genetic success.”
I expand this biological concept to ideas and symbols currently replicated in today’s society. As I am doing it, I am also thinking about the research done by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi in his book “ The Evolving Self.” Specific ideas, hurtful or beneficial, evolve in the same way as biological memes do. In that sense, ideas once converted into “ unconscious” memes, replicate themselves and expand their existence into what “CG. Jung would call “ the collective unconscious.” That is actually what makes it so easy to hate a person that you have never even met. A meme has been replicated in the person’s mind that is choosing to hate.
“ I hate you because you are black.” is an iteration of a meme, a thought. It can potentially become a force that destroys, repeats, and replicates itself into the collective unconscious.
“ You are just a wetback,” is another iteration of a meme, a thought repeatedly said.
Drawing the swastika is yet another example of thought, iterated many times and repeated in society as a meme.
None of them are original. A meme takes a life of its own; therefore, it can even be argued that they have a separate life form. Thoughts reproduce themselves once they have a host. It almost involves a new reproduction form, not necessarily sexual reproduction.
Hate is spread as a meme in what I call a mystical asexual reproduction, the same way single-celled organisms such as archaea and bacteria reproduce.
In the case of a meme, what a meme needs for reproduction is a “mind” that will officiate as a host.
Memes can also replicate positive thoughts.
“ I want to leave this world a little better than I found it” is yet another iteration of a thought that can become a force, and it is a meme that has been said many times.
“~에 Pink, We Trust” is yet another thought that has been iterated many times.
My power lies in embracing that I live “through time and in time and choosing to replicate the meme that will replicate equity, love, and the power of the embrace; it is the best use of my art.
I am mindful and question all the memes I have been exposed to.” These memes or thoughts have a connective power that helps build relatability with those that resonate with them.
These memes or thoughts can become a powerful force to leave this world a little better than we found it.
My power lies in embracing and iterating the thoughts or memes that move society toward collective well-being, joy, and understanding.
At the end of the day, I do believe in the “butterfly effect, the power of the embrace, and equity for all. And love”
Under this collection, we share and replicate the memes associated with the power of the embrace (specifically, I refer to tango), equity, and love.
We invite you to acquire the original items under this collection and the limited edition reproductions, as much as we invite you to replicate the memes in society that enhance equity and love.
Thank you for being so supportive.

~에 Pink We Trust is a thought.
A force is an iteration of what was done or said before.
A thought iterated many times over becomes a meme.
When I express a thought, I iterate the books I read, the flowers I smelt, and the cultures that have impacted me as an evolving self.
“I hate you because you are black.” is an iteration of a thought that can become a force and has been said many times.
“You are just a wetback,” is another iteration of a thought repeatedly said. None of them are original.
“I want to leave this world a little better than I found it” is yet another iteration of a thought that can become a force.
“~에 Pink, We Trust” is yet another thought that has been iterated many times.
My power lies in embracing that I live “through time and in time.”
I am mindful and question all the memes I have been exposed to throughout time.” These memes or thoughts have a connective power that helps build relatability with those that resonate with them.
These memes or thoughts can become a powerful force.
My power lies in embracing and iterating the thoughts or memes that move society toward collective well-being, joy, and understanding.
At the end of the day, I do believe in the “butterfly effect, the power of the embrace, and equity for all.”

Title: "오늘, In Peace’s Robes, you Must Bake."
오늘, on this rainy day of fire,
Braving the muddy path on my, apples for my pie, I must get.
Crispy, red, white, and blue apples I must get.
오늘, In peace’s robes, they must bake this apple pie.
A slice has to be ready to be shared
with a six-year-old angel that has just left the earth.
Another piece must be ready to be shared with the rest of them.
오늘, In peace’s robes, a slide must be given with a wish and a cry.
No crusts bake with pain.
The blue calls for justice; justice is not and not, not, and not, more of the same.
오늘, In peace’s robes, as American as apple pie,
You must know, "All eyes are on the red, white, and blue pie.”
The red in the pie must be filled with apples, not bloody pain.

Title: The Fire is Striking in Widening Dots of Blood.
The fire is striking.
The fire is actually striking.
The bodies are piling.
I can see widening dots of blood.
Se pudren más las cosas.
The anger wants blood.
Widening dots of blood, want more blood.
The hate wants blood.
Hate that is circling in a widening circle of bullets, fire, and guess what? more blood.
The fermating land needs LOVE.
Yet, it only gets widening circles of blood.
Is there anywhere around a mild White mist that can bring relief to those fermenting bloody dots?
