Bottom line..If you choose to use drugs, please don’t use alone. Carry Naloxone. Thank you!

Title: Chase the Solution, Not the Dragon
Ceramic Vase🏺
.
A studio project from my Cultural Studies in Visual Art class from undergrad.
.
This ceramic vase references a 16th century Chinese piece. I used traditional and contemporary techniques on the surface design of the vase.
.
The imagery I chose to use was based off pieces from the Ming dynasty period.
.
I incorporated some contemporary text including original poetry, newspaper headlines, and imagery to reference the Overdose crisis in Canada 🇨🇦 and the US 🇺🇸.
.
The fentanyl that is killing thousands of people is believed to be coming from China; it's a personal topic for me, as I lost my housemate just over 5 years ago, my best friend 12 years ago, and struggled with a substance use disorder myself.
.
"The only way we'll ever touch the problem of addiction is by developing and fostering viable culture."-Dr. Bruce K. Alexander .
.
The solution for me personally was nurturing my creativity (attending art school and grad school), building a supportive community that transcends geographical borders. Rehabilitation/ treatment (more than one attempt), counselling , and a 12 step program of my choice.
.
If you're struggling with a substance use disorder or think you might have a problem.. please ask for help or reach out! .
.
Losing people to accidental overdoses or suicide is not a solution. I share my story and what helped me build the life I love today, as a service to the community.

Hi my name is Ciro (pronounced like Cheer-Oh).
.
Art with context:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
‘And Yet I Shine’ is a mixed media art installation I created while finishing my undergraduate degree and it was recently published in Disabled Voices.
.
This was me using the visual literacy I was taught to stand up for myself.
Not every professor or instructor will understand and that’s okay. Punishing a student for having a documented disability is wrong.
.
I began my journey in visual arts with activism for narcolepsy with cataplexy, a neurological condition that affects 1 in 2,000 people and 3 million world wide.
.
I boldly share about my life with an invisible condition, because it is highly stigmatized by the media, and thus misunderstood by society.
.
I was struggling with the invisibility aspect of my condition, and resisting the temptation to prove that my mental/ physical limitations are real.
.
When facing adversity in the classroom, the best response is through action, innovation, and creativity.
.
In this piece, I pushed the boundaries on what I thought was expected of this material and of me.
. I am intrigued by the translucency of porcelain because it personifies how I feel. As a person who struggles with daytime sleepiness everyday, I feel opaque and fragile like porcelain in the morning. Surrounded by an omnipresent fogginess.
. The sunsets and I feel like me again. The transformation begins the artist within me creates at night.
.
The drawing backdrop is rooted around statements of fact, negative associations, or misconceptions linked to narcolepsy.
.
The wavy lines are actual brainwaves from a sleep study when I was in a dream (REM) state of sleep. Hidden between those lines is a silhouette of me.
.
The porcelain piece was first thrown on a potter’s wheel, then later carved, and decorated with a self-portrait depicting me asleep in class. The medium of ceramics teaches me that life is a balancing act between heart, head, and hand. I believe in the redemptive power of art.
.

Disabled Voices Anthology

Description
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Written by the disabled community for the disabled community -- a collection of short fiction, memoirs, and poetry from writers around the world. Also features original artwork from artists who identity as disabled. A first of its kind, Disabled Voices captures life as a disabled person: from the bad and ugly, to the good and victorious, and anything in between. Some pieces deconstruct and/or challenge ableism, or embody a spirit of disability and community and activism rather than inspiration for abled people.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you

Thank you @johnpatrickroach for the share and being an enthusiastic supporter. I titled this print “For Adam” because it was a reminder to my friend @adamdelmarcelle that we are resilient and fierce when it comes to #HarmReduction and our mission is to cultivate ways to unify the voices of those impacted by losing people to the #overdosecrisis
.
The print for me was an attempt to reach a friend’s sister before an accidental overdose. I failed. This was part of my cannon of printmaking work from under grad.
.
Today this print is a reminder that I’m not owned by those chains of addiction and that art has the power to move people. Expression is an essential feeling for me and when I begin to lose sight of that, I suffer. Wake UP CIRO make art! 6 AM here we go!

we’re on our way to Futsal right now. It’s crazy to be playing indoor soccer again with friends I grew up with. Feeling very grateful for these relationships coming back into my life right now.
