Nobody ever plans for an idea; it just comes out of them. We often ignore ideas or thoughts that cross our minds and it is devastating; it even scares us to acknowledge ourselves having certain thoughts. This leads to ignorance which hinders us from ever getting a chance to explore ideas enough to create something constructive out of them and because we want a perfect moment; a perfect thought or a perfect date; we stay oblivious to the one right before us. Ideas don’t have a date is a reminder that we should be aware of what we think. It is a reminder that we should acknowledge whatever idea that comes to mind because we may never know how life changing that ignored idea may be to us and even though it may seem like a silly thought; writing it down atleast and continuing to work and explore it may just change our lives forever. The image in the art piece was initially a picture of Chris Brown that I digitally worked on and transformed to what you’re seeing now; the words in the hoodie are lyrics from J Cole’s song titled “Change” which also inspired the paintings title. I decided to place them inside the hoodie because they show that ideas blossom from the mind. It is glowing out of the shadows to depict the concept of it coming off the mind. I listen to J Cole and Chris Brown a lot so it was amazing to be able to create this. My intuition is telling me there’ll be better days; I sit in silence and find whenever I meditate; my fears alleviate; my tears evaporate; my faith don’t deviate; Ideas don’t have a date. - Jermaine Cole

Sade describes the life of a woman in Somalia who lives a life that is far different from the one most of us are living. The woman in description is the pearl because she is out all day toiling under the scotching sun; struggling and enduring all the hurt just to feed her little girl. This also reminds us that there is beauty in the struggle and that embracing it makes us precious or in this case it makes us pearls. Embracing pain and struggle for a greater good or intention; a sympathetic or sonder feeling of purpose. We continue to strive even when it hurts. We are willing to endure what may come for pearls. We look to the heavens above and realize the limit. We want it even though we don't have it. We love it. We love it. We love it The creation of this art piece was inspired by Sade’s Love album art cover. The entire album is a tale of love from pain to joy and vice versa. The art piece portrays a picture of Sade that gives a sense of vulnerability and rawness to let go. Green on her body symbolizes how rooted she is to her morals; it is in her nature to be that way. Yellow describes her shinning beauty and her ability to overcome all the pain she feels through her will to give and show love. Orange symbolizes all the benefits and wealth that breeds out of giving and showing love and black shows her boldness and pride to stand firm through it all. There is a woman in Somalia; the sun gives her no mercy; the same sky we lay under burns her to the bone. Long as afternoon shadows; it is going to take her to get home. Each grain carefully wrapped up pearls for her little girl. - Sade Adu

Muse and multidisciplinary artist. I found a way to unapologetically inhabit my body and express myself. Modeling answered to a visceral need to meet and embrace my whole being. Infront of a camera, I realized how incredible it was to dive into my inner self for a meditative and intimate moment, an instinctive and harmonious dance. It gave me a place to be free, to feel comfortable in my most natural form, vulnerable but powerful and to share my voice in a corporal way. I desire to leave people moved, questioning the relationship that they’ve built with their bodies, their vision of nudity as well as society’s expectation. Vulnerability flows in many ways; it might come vocally for certain individuals and for others it is corporal. There is a sense of artistry in being vulnerable. Embracing it means new experiences; new feelings and new heights. It's all in our perspective and Noemie Doragon's story inspired that in me. After seeing a photograph of her in such a vulnerable portrayal; I felt the need to let go and flow with color and because of the amount of vulnerability I saw in the picture; I spelt the color palette on the piece and created the Painted Lady This world tends to be hurtful and disconnected from what seems fundamental to me. What would life be without space for emotions, creativity, freedom, nature? I aim to share them through my pictures and creations. With love. - Noemie Doragon
