about

"The Optimist" is an artist's reflective expression of maintaining artistic integrity in a growing superficial market and world. The IGive explores the struggles of an independent artist searching for a niche in the major market world as if a young fresh graduate seeking advancement in the corporate world or an urban youth reaching for economic stability in an economy that uproots his every opportunity. Optimistically resolved to rise regardless of the apparent outlook, "The Optimist" expresses resiliency in the face of overwhelming opposition.
