Manifesto:    𝖍𝖔𝖜 𝖙𝖔 𝖕𝖗𝖎𝖓𝖙 𝖆 .𝖌𝖎𝖋

A .gif is inspiration, a call for attention, a joke, a meme, a glitch.

Nonphysical, untouchable, unreal—it doesn’t belong here.
Yet it exists.

Born in the ancient era of PowerPoint and Yahoo! Answers,
it electrifies presentations with its wavy dances of animated images and 
A .gif is a digital format that holds transparency (0-100%), animation, and 256 colors
but remains gloriously simple and reduced:
 

But when you print it?
Its letters, its movements, its life—flattened.
Static. Still. A shadow of its full experience.

The transfer glitches, becomes incomplete, mundane.
Where does the rest of the .gif's essence go when we force it into the physical world?

For that, we can attest:
A .gif is fiction adorning reality,
an arcade, pixelated, jumpy friend,

a playful accomplice keeping your fragmented, ADHD-wounded attention alive.

It belongs in the Platonic world of Ideas—captured and imagined in our minds,
animated in the digital, but never fully realized in physical form.

The .gif exposes an inevitable truth:
Our physicality is limited.
We fade, leaving only the memories and traces for others to inherit.
Dreams are bounded by barriers.
Time slips away, opportunities dissolve.

Yet, the .gif?
The .gif is silly. Eternal. Looped. Inexhaustible.
It makes the heaviness of days lighter,
offering a momentary escape from gravity, ego, and weight.
It arouses a flicker of irreverent joy, a disparity that sparks imagination.

And here lies my purpose:
To capture the emotional essence of a .gif—its movement, its playfulness, its fleeting absurdity—and make it tangible.
To take the immaterial emotional experience of the digital and breathe it into the physical.
To translate its lightness, loops, and life into brushstrokes, textures, and layers on canvas.

Each canvas becomes an echo of the impossible—a .gif frozen in time, yet pulsating with its presence.

This is the essence of my artistic career:
To print the unprintable.
To make the fleeting permanent.
To let the soul of a .gif live on a canvas.
