*Peace, Love & Positive Vibrations* was born in the backseat of a late-night Uber cutting through Bushwick’s industrial glow, embracing the graffiti-splashed walls, neon reflections and the hum of possibility. Giovonni had just left a friend’s film screening, coasting back to Manhattan with his mind spinning, not from the party, but from everything he has lived and learned since arriving in New York.
This artwork captures that exact moment, when the city feels like a mirror and you finally see yourself in it. Giovonni remembers leaning his head against the cool glass, looking out at the blur of Brooklyn passing by. That ride was more than just a commute, it was a checkpoint. A flash of clarity.
The central figure sits still and calm in the backseat, hand raised in a peace sign. Dressed with quiet confidence and pure intention. It’s a reflection of everything that’s led to this point. The long nights, the doubt, the grind. There’s no need to say much, because sometimes, just being in that seat, moving forward, says it all. The work has started to pay off, and for the first time, it feels real. But this isn’t the destination, it’s a checkpoint. A moment to acknowledge the progress, breathe it in and get ready for whatever’s next.
This piece is layered with quiet symbolism. Seen through the textures, the colors, the posture and the subtle branding. But beyond all that, it carries a frequency. You can feel it in the stillness, in the glow, in the weight of the moment. It holds both the past and the present, because this is what it feels like to ride home with a new kind of clarity. When the world opens up wider than you ever imagined, and you realize you’re no longer just passing through it. You’re shaping it now. Actively. Intentionally. And for the first time, it feels like it knows you back.
The piece channels a core philosophy from Nikola Tesla: “If you wish to understand the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” It’s a mantra Giovonni has always held close. When skill, time and intention are aligned, when energy is honest, vibrations begin to shift. Clarity follows. The noise fades, the message sharpens. This artwork holds that frequency, a checkpoint suspended in motion, where the past converges with what’s possible, and the universe starts to respond in kind.
