“What Matters Most” by Mega McGrath

Artist Statement: An ode to Charles Bukowski’s poetry; “What Matters
Most Is How Well You Walk Through The Fire”. The sentiment speaks on
the resilience of the human spirit in the face of upheaval and change.
Although the poetry collection was published in 1999; It serves as a
metaphor for the societal challenges we have faced in 2020; and strength
we’ve been able to display collectively. Mega’s work focuses on exalting
truths about the human condition through the use of ornamentation
and color.

Hopefully we'll come through the fire smelling like roses :) I love this and the artist's choice for illustrating the quote - nicely placed cyclist too V

The words seem particularly apt for today's problematic world. Adding them to this pleasant and attractive mural illustration makes it even more interesting.
