'JUST BELIEVE'
"Just Believe" is a painting inspired by a moment of artistic inspiration walking around an Art Gallery listening to Kanye West's 'Praise God'. While not religious, the song further prompted thoughts on how hip-hop music and culture can impact peoples views on religion and its uses. Noisetteya was moved by the themes of faith and inclusivity. In the painting, an angel extends a welcoming hand, inviting viewers into a celestial scene. Beneath this, people from diverse backgrounds engage in common behaviors, challenging historical biases and promoting inclusivity. The diverse audience, captured on their phones, highlights the intersection of digital and divine experiences. The piece prompts reflection on our engagement with fleeting digital interactions versus enduring spiritual ones, symbolized by contrasting cherubs. It encourages viewers to consider the balance between the superficial and the profound in our modern world.
