THIS GRANT IS CLOSED
Step into the enigmatic world of Lifted where JeddaZen , Berkeley and Kirumi express life underwater in more than one installation. Empowering and inspiring. Woman, Mother, Sister , Friend, and Lover. where whimsy and wisdom dance beneath the waves. Here, in the depths of creativity, 3D mesh sculptures whisper tales of motherhood and nurture, each a testament to the gentle strength of the sea.
Above, the surface , stretching the boundaries of reality. Lights intertwine with natural elements, casting shadows that playfully mimic life in many forms. A Dance between shadow and light with a hint of rain...
A space walk in a dream shared by Love, with a fusion of world beats, tribal drums, and the vibrant energy of dance. It's a sonic exploration that complements the visual feast, a call to experience art with every sense. Music is the essence of life, and in this life, art sings the melodies of our deepest emotions, the installation serenades.
Get Lifted and expressive with Art, it transcends the ordinary, music uplifts the soul, and every visit is an ode to the richness of the human experience.

My Bagdad Cafe
January 2007 was my beginning. I arrived in an endless space with no purpose, just an endless space. I was cold in the crowd and didn't look for connections. Months passed by as if I was walking around with an empty bag. It was only by chance that I ended up there, and it all started when I stared at the statue there and felt the need to take a deep breath. I want to leave my thoughts from then on here for my memory, if you can sense something unseen in what you saw here, my time has a new meaning. Thank you.

SLEA7: Art ღ littlewing (Artistik Oluja) "Audacious Playgrounds"
THIS GRANT IS CLOSED
Hi I'm Art, been wandering around Second Life and other virtual spaces for a while now! In SL I've previously participated in a bunch of interesting collaborations and friendly group projects. My two sim-wide installations with LEA were "Metamorfaces" and "Glass Jars." I also had a solo exhibit at Ribong Gallery that focused on my lenticular visual work. Always inspired to see visitors interact and respond to my ideas.
More recently I have been getting deeper into music, and have been experimenting with live looping and sound design, it's a dimension I've enjoyed bringing into SL spaces and integrating with my pieces here. I've been fortunate to perform with and learn from some very talented and established musicians, who've supported my journey of intuitive expression and serious playfulness, and I'd like to carry that experience across to my SL virtual exploration.
My new installation at SLEA7 is called Audacious Playgrounds. Here I really want to approach the space as I do my music making, being open to a spontaneous improvisation, letting myself get lost in contrasts and layers, a space to play with shapes and sounds.. and maybe you'll feel playful wandering around too! :) I will be sharing more details as I work on the space in my group Art Zone, you're welcome to join here:secondlife:///app/group/199cff4a-d1f0-4426-9050-7d85abf38c49/about
If you'd like to listen to some of my music I've made or been involved in there's a little collection at https://soundcloud.com/littlewingart/sets
and my YouTube channel with some of my performances: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-oY8SdlTmnOZR60rdUKIvg
Mostly, I hope whatever your passion is, that you allow yourself the audacity to PLAY, regardless of the struggles that may surround you from day to day <3
