Art Whino Says:
"At a very young age, we’re taught that if we fall down trying to accomplish something we should get back up and try again. Learning to walk is a perfect example, as the bumps and bruises from repeatedly collapsing to the ground soon give way to smiles and a newfound independence in mobility. Nobody just hands us the key to walking. We earn it.  Each and every one of us, regardless of the social or economical status we’re born into, earns it.   Maybe we can’t recall how good it felt the day we made it across the living room floor on our own two feet, but in life, we’ll have plenty other opportunities to reach our rewards as we stumble, fall and fight like hell to get back up.
 
As we get older, the falls we take are usually harder, often unexpected, and more difficult to recover from.  Rather than leave scars on our hands and knees, they leave us bleeding emotionally.  More importantly, what we do afterward can determine the course of our lives moving forward. The work for Joe’s “Fall and Rise” examines the fall and the moment of self restoration and enlightenment upon picking oneself up, as opposed to falling back down and falling apart."
