A couple of weeks ago, I posted about a crowd funding project that if fully funded, it will allow me and the sponsors to participate in a unique exhibition opening at the Cannes Film Festival. I was stunned by how supportive some people were and willing to contribute for the VIP tickets knowing they would be fully refunded if the amount is not reached by the deadline of 8th of April. However, with the deadline nearing and the clock ticking, all the vows and wows are turning into bla bla, the very sign(ature) of insecurity that we are all prone to. And I'm not surprised as I have encountered that in my personal and professional life with people wanting to meet on Thursday -- for example -- but many unnoticed Thursdays passing by and others excited to collaborate over a scientific idea or develop an artistic vision, eventually all burrowed under soils of endless excuses, that my aesthete organs cannot perceive or penetrate. I have been trained to see and make beauty that translates into truth and therefore I have no sensibility towards flakiness and bullshit. However, I am putting all this behind and moving forward for everything happens for a good reason and in fact, I believe I have a sponsor that will cover all the exhibit's expenses. Regardless, whether I make it or not is not the issue as I would still have learned a very precious life-lesson that I am already sharing with you. As of today, forgive me as it might take a few weeks or months for me to get to know you better if we have never met and I am sure as you read this you will feel the same and empathise. I just want us to be clear that I am not here to impress you or be impressed by you as I barely manage to please my own self, and I am not here for fake unfelt like-for-like or wow-for-wow bazars. The worst place in earth is a place that lacks communication and it's sickening how social networks have destroyed our communication and I do not wish to proceed this way. If you are minimally suspicious of what I am trying to communicate in this message, perhaps this video might change your mind and it is never too late https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-ybt_Sjrp8 let's picnic soon, not the picnic app, a real picnic in the park!
