Vedome : A creative community for those who choose to...BECOME AWARE.

The Future is Ours, Not Yours. -Sincerely Vedome As I sit and think, what does “Not Yours” mean and how can I merge that with “The Future is Ours,” I get flustered. Two totally different designs at two totally different times in my life, but something keeps telling me to merge them together. How do they connect? How can I say the future is ours and say not yours at the same time? What the heck am I even thinking? I could talk about how we all, as individuals, have our own futures. I could talk about how there’s always going to be circumstances that deter your alacrity to pursue our dreams. How mistakes will be made, how love will be lost, and how bridges will be burned. I could make an analogy comparing how a potter molding their clay, is like you molding your future. How it takes time, patience, and perseverance. Your future slips away the second you stop trying to mold it. Finally, I could conclude all that with how even though we all have our individual futures, not one of us can own the future individually. Therefore making the future not yours, but ours. But no, to simply put it… The Future is Ours, Not Yours, is a love letter from Vedome with a message as clear as day. Now is our time… BECOME AWARE.

Some may see MELANCHOLIA as cataclysmal, apocalyptic, and an absolute obliteration, but as we always say here at VEDOME, TAKE A CLOSER LOOK… The Collision: The MELANCHOLIA design symbolizes two worlds becoming one. It stands for unison, amalgamation, and the emergence of a new. Although, on the surface it conveys chaos and destruction, beyond the rubble and havoc there lies pulchritude and neonatal beginnings. My thought process while creating MELANCHOLIA was distraught and in disarray. My inspiration derived from Lars Von Trier’s cinematic masterpiece, Melancholia, and a mathematical simulation of what it would be like if two planets crashed into each other. I saw a different meaning than what both of my inspirations depicted. Where there was destruction, I saw reparation. Where there was annihilation, I saw creation. When it seemed to be the end, I saw a new beginning. The perspective: Just as the planets collide, so do we humans. We are our own worlds. When we collide with one another, it is awe striking. It is a vicious cycle of ardent emotions ranging from infatuation to detestation. Our collision, at first glance, can seem disheveled, but once the storm settles, into the serenity, bares the fruit of a new beginning. Now we are living in an era where we have been apart for so long. It seems, with a desperate urgency, it’s time we all started to collide again. No matter how chaotic of a collision, always remember, THERE’S BEAUTY WITHIN THE CHAOS.

"Did you hear about the flower that grew from the ashes? Many were shocked by the way it bloomed. Against all odds, it flourished and lit up mother nature’s room. It secured its roots and burgeoned, where many thought was a desolate place. In the darkest of times it stood unflinching and looked darkness in its menacing face. Continue to BLOOM beautiful flower. Allow yourself to grow. Steadfast may you continue to be and so shall the seeds you sow." -V. The inspiration for this design derived From Azuma Makoto and Tupac Shakur. The mind boggling experiments that Azuma does with botanical life such as flowers is astounding. He and his team pushes the boundaries of art and science. Since 2014, with the Exhibition of Exobiotanica, I’ve been AWARE of Azumas work. So unique, unusual, and unprecedented. As for Tupac, well have you heard of “The Rose That Grew From Concrete?” While brief, the poem spoke to me in so many ways. We should all see ourselves as the flower that grew against all odds. During difficult times, filled with doubt and disarray, the main goal should be to stay hopeful and resilient. Going through the obstacles of life with no obvious solution, your alacrity can grow faint. One thing we should always remember during such times/moments in our lives, being the blossoming flowers that we are, is that... where there’s light, you can BLOOM.
