In Demit's words, "prom night" recalls the first time he attended a school dance. He practiced all week making sure he could dance on beat and made his moves fly on the dance floor. In a way, it represents breaking free and allowing yourself to live.

In Demit's words, "learning to paint" reminded him of when he first learned how to juggle a soccer ball, and when he first started painting with his mom.

In Demit's words, "home by curfew" reflects on times when he would come home from long trips away from loved ones. Beyond the physical idea of a "home," this could be how "home" can also be when you are with special people.

"Slow Dance" features two figures swaying together hand in hand, holding a flower.

"Slow Dance" while at first glance displays two figure dancing together, further represent the slow pace it takes to build a stronger bond. At first there is an apprehension between the two, a step towards and away from each other which could represent fear, doubt, or the unknown.

As they take a step closer, together, they allow themselves to be open to love even if it means they are exposed to being hurt; a testament of taking the leap of faith together. The slow dance of life with another is the natural growth of love between two people.

"It Takes a Village" features a larger figure singing while holding three smaller figures. Two of the smaller figures are trying to console the third, while the figure above all the others passes out flowers to help.

"It Takes a Village" represents the importance (and difficulty) of love and care when raising our children. The role we all play together as a family to nurture our youth is extremely crucial and necessary in bringing up the future of our world.

The figures in "Your Parade" march from right to left with the leader being a flower holder, followed by a juggler, a cartwheeler, a figure flying on a flower, and a small stepping person to close out the group. All figures come through the scene with the only stationary objects being a swaying flower and a house.

"Your Parade" represent the multiple sides we all have to ourselves. We are able to lead with heads high, but sometimes leaning too deep into one of our personalities could hide other amazing characters we have inside. "Your Parade" celebrates all the different personalities we have inside which make us that much more unique as individuals.

The figures in "I do" pass a ring box to each other back and forth, the ring box transforming into a ring and landing on the finger of the other as they embrace in a kiss.

"I do" represents the beauty of love and marriage in a playful way. On one end, there is the spontaneity of the proposal - a shot in the dark where one person hopes the other says "YES!" On the other end, some things are actually completely planned out, down to the pre-picked out engagement ring that is presented on the proposal day. So, the question in the back and forth of the ring tossing becomes, "Who proposes to who?" 

The beauty in all of this is that the object of the ring becomes less important, but rather, the forever bond with the other person. "I do" stands for forever with another individual. It’s the forever commitment to your soulmate, no matter how you get there.

I do

The figures in "Love, Nurture, Growth" from bottom to top, include a boat rapidly coming down stream, a playful flower, a couple trying to stay grounded, three floating figures tending to flowers in a vase, a larger figure holding the Sun, and a figure riding a cloud in and out of the frame.

"Love, Nurture, Growth" represents different stages of life from a day-to-day perspective, to lessons that span across a lifetime. The artwork acknowledges how quickly each day passes, represented by the boat coming down stream over and over. As we find love and try to hold on to it, we must remember to have fun and smile along the way. This steps into the next stage of nurture which means tending to the relationships with others and ourselves: a necessity to grow a fruitful life. As we approach the final stage of the figure holding the Sun, this represents our growth. As we love and nurture, we also must continue to grow and develop. This is the cycle of life we all go through.

The figure in "Behind the Flower" holds up a flower to shield their face but unintentionally allows it to fall. It is a recurring action of feeling exposed to the world, and for a second, people are finally able to see your true colors.

"Behind the Flower" acknowledges vulnerability, a scary feeling when people see what lies behind the initial layer of a person. However, there is also a sense of empowerment and liberation going throughout life being true to yourself.

In Demit's words, "my hero" represents the person you have looked up to your whole life. For Demit, it's the thought of his father; his role model and hero.

In Demit's words, "soulmate" is the person who knows you better than yourself. It is the inexplicable feeling that happens when two wandering souls, in the billions that exist around the world, unite with each other forming a bond stronger than no other.

In Demit's words, "follow heart" is about planting the seeds to start growing our new beginnings. It's choosing to lead with courage, disallowing fear and doubt to live in our minds.

In Demit's words, "first love" represents the first time you fell in love with someone; the first time that particular person made your heart sing. It's a giddiness that makes you feel like there's nowhere in the world you'd rather be, than there with them.

Every day is a new opportunity to create your own mark and be yourself. It's not how long your name stays on the wall for everyone to see, but it’s the joy of self-expression. Find something you love and do it with kindness. For some it's a spray can, for others it's a clean wall. Embrace the challenge and have fun.
 
Frank and The Buffer have an unspoken dialogue back and forth in this infinitely looping story. Creation and destruction are woven together in a metaphor of flux, balance, and life.

"Flowers of Life" is a short story that features a figure planting flower seeds in their garden. As time passes, the flowers grow, nature comes into play, and the story continues in a looping cycle.

"Flowers of Life" represents the self-love that we put into our own lives on a daily basis. We carefully plant the seeds which represent goals we would like to manifest. As they grow and develop over the course of time, we learn about ourselves in different ways. This is a common theme throughout all of the NFT artwork in the Gap x demit series. It reflects the ongoing process of working on ourselves throughout all stages of life. We don’t forget our past, but rather evolve into better versions of ourselves, always allowing there to be space for something new to blossom.

This is the reason why we need to continue planting these Flowers of Life.

The winner of this NFT auction will receive the NFT and the physical Gap denim jacket painted by Demit Omphroy.
