Hierarchy of Needs

SHANNON ANTHEA

IG: @byshannonanthea

Shannonanthea.com

An exploration of the human condition, inspired by the ideas presented in Viktor Frankl's seminal work, "Man's Search for Meaning." In this piece Shannon explores the theme of the Hierarchy of Needs and the importance of purpose in fulfilling our needs as human beings. Shannon delves into the idea of a hierarchy of needs that transcends mere survival, and instead posits that true fulfilment comes from uncovering one's purpose in life. The concept of actualisation, as a key component of this hierarchy, is poetically rendered as a journey of discovery, where the mind and soul are freed from the constraints of societal norms and traditional concepts of history The imagery of "steppingstones to the universe's deepest mystery" and the idea of our souls "orbiting beneath the stars and moon" imbue the poem with a sense of cosmic transcendence, further emphasising the idea that our purpose in life is not limited to the physical realm

The Circus in the Metaverse

The Circus in the Metaverse explores the convergence of digital and physical realms, blurring societal norms and opening up new dimensions of reality The piece centres around the ID, Super Ego, and Ego - the trio of voices and desires that make up our psyche Asking us whether this new virtual world will offer a unique journey between the three, allowing our true subconscious needs to be revealed

Alexandra Orzan is a normal person, from a normal world She is based in Bucharest, Romania She is a person who has discovered art and her talent since she was a little kid She was inspired by almost everything that was around her How she discovered? Well, ever since she was little she always had a pencil in her hand, drawing everything that she imagined at the time She kept drawing until she saw a few years later that her drawings were becoming better and better She loved it She loved doing it and she wanted to become her best self as an artist so after middle school she applied to “Nicolae Tonitza” Fine Arts High School and she was accepted with the highest grades in drawing, painting and sculpting During the high school years she was specialised in Graphic Arts and she finished with a Qualification Certificate in Graphic Arts obtained with the highest grade and she had an exhibition outside of school where most of her professors went to support her. Soon after, she started a college, but not an art college unfortunately, but she kept drawing and dreaming about being a very good known artist. She began to draw digitally and to become better and better at what she was doing. The name of her artwork that is exhibited in the Art Number 23 Gallery is “LOVE” This digital painting fully represents her emotions, emotions that she experienced being in love: happiness, frustration, heartbreak, calmness, safety, affection and love She thinks that love is the most beautiful thing that can happen to someone, but sometimes is hard, it needs to be, because nothing in this world is perfect and if it would be perfect and thing were easy, it will be boring, the world needs to be imperfect and stay that way, that is what makes it beautiful

Mirku is an autodidact and emerging visual artist from Cologne, Germany. It was here where mirku got first in touch with surrealism, as Max Ernst was born in Brühl, a small city close to Cologne. But what especially has been influencing mirku's work and worldview is the feminist surrealism by artists such as Leonora Carrington and Remedios Varo. This fascination is connected to Mexico, an entirely surrealist country in so many aspects, where the artist lived for two years What mirku wants to capture is the beauty, banality and brutality of the everyday, the natural world as well as the human body in motion The artist’s favorite materials are watercolor in all its expressions and ink
