The reality of market cycles is somber and the emotional depths have no bottom.
Saint Jerome, once a scholar immersed in divine texts, now contemplates the desolation of a bear market. The modern-day altar before him displays the bleakness of a downward trend, the hope for recovery is fading. Yet, amidst the despair, there are glimpses of resilience. The repeated mantra of ''Create, Mint, Repeat'' reminds both the artist and the market participant that cycles are inevitable, and creation persists through all stages.
The intersection of personal and financial lows is real, where artists and market participants alike question their worth and purpose. It is a meditation on the cyclical nature of both art and markets, and the resilience required to navigate the darkest phases.
In the end, you will survive this. One day you will get high, look back, and laugh.
Every descent is followed by a rise.
