Progression II - The Epilogue by Onesimo Bam

A meditation on time, fashion, and becoming — these works are not fixed but ever-shifting, tracing the echoes of where we’ve been and the horizons of where we might arrive.

The showcase gathers a cast of artists as characters, each embodying the fluidity of this continuum. Their presence is not incidental but integral — casting itself becomes part of the concept, revealing how identity, history, and imagination are woven into every fold of the future.

Hi. I found your work while struggling for inspiration ( I still am). I have to say your work is beautiful and it's amazing to see how you have progressed. What keeps you going?

Hey, thank you so much for the message and the kind words. Don't sweat it, the inspiration comes and goes, but no matter how dull things get, never forget that you are the source. Maybe it's just time to fill your cup up so when it's time to create, you'll have so much more to give. Take it easy and don't lose sight of why you do what you do. Life comes with it's ups and downs and we are only human so really, don't sweat it. It will come again.
