“by breaking ourselves down to our bits, whether deliberate or otherwise, we are presented with the unique opportunity to rebuild ourselves from the ground up. the goal = freedom + positive energy creation. in pure freedom, we still must work, as we must create. and we must attempt to enhance, protect, & provide positive energy flow in the lives of others, all living beings.we must express ourselves.
for that is true freedom. only from this place can we truly inspire.

Periodic Flux, 2022
periodic flux's code running live on your device^^
every month, those that menstruate experience a flux of self. physical, mental and emotional states are subject to change and may appear closer in a mirror than they truly are. this flux of self is a part of life.
all of life is in flux, is natural, and should never be shamed.
this piece has it's own monthly cycle. on the 10th, the cycle begins. the piece slowly ramps up until it experiences its peak state of flux between the 15th - 17th, then gradually returns to its base state around the 20th.
every time you refresh, it can have a slightly different state, as we are all always changing, and can never be expected to be the same at any given time.
this piece lives in berlin, and changes from day to night.
periodic flux is part of the #onedropnfts collection about destigmatizing menstruation.

"I grew up in the surf/skate culture of Virginia Beach, with my mother and two younger brothers. My father suffered from addiction and was in and out of jail since I was little. We moved every year from one low-income neighborhood to the next, but we were happy. My brothers and I made our own fun with what we had. I became comfortable creating with whatever was around. Even now, my materials are minimal, all I need is a computer."
jiwa is a passionate activist, often using his work to raise awareness for environmental and socio-political issues as well as relief causes.
In Spring 2022, he raised $8000 for the Ukrainian war effort with the interactive, social generative art project, f*ck putin.
