Happy Sunday to everyone🌞 Just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge global events. The world feels like it’s on 🔥. What is happening in Paris currently is a model for the unrest in the psyche of so many. The riots and protests in Paris and other French cities stem from a broad anti-government movement triggered by soaring living costs, rising fuel prices, and deteriorating public services. Mass Demonstrations and Violence: Around 550,000 people turned out for nationwide marches (with over 100,000 in Paris alone). While most protesters were peaceful, violent fringe groups, looters, and opportunistic vandals hijacked the demonstrations. At the same time, there are major art fairs concluding today, both Art Basel and Asia Now. I had the privilege of participating in the 10th Asia Now fair in 2024 where I presented some works from my collection and spoke on a panel regarding the state of where art sat in the age of technology. It was a special experience for me as it was my first time in Paris—a city I dreamt of visiting since I was a child—and because the theme of the fair was centered around ceremony. The concept reimagined an art fair not as a static marketplace, but as a living, ritualistic gathering. I think of spaces in the XRPL artistic community as the same❤️ The theme explored sacred and profane rituals, viewing them through philosophy, poetry, science, and contemporary art to challenge and transform social hierarchies and power structures. This is where it comes full circle in the protests against power structures happening today as the 12th Asia Now fair concludes. And how we are here on this X platform as a ritualistic gathering in our own way of protest against hierarchy trying to find our way through the storm. 🫂❤️🎨☔️ The video attached is of the fair in 2024, I am in there for about 30 sec at the 3 1/2 min. mark, feeling so privileged to have shared in that experience. Just like I do here in spaces. 🙏🏽🌹🏆

Can we get an investigation… ermm prosecution team on this please? 🕵️👿🤥
