All About Agape

My new collection is entitled “Agape” representing the unconditional love of others and one’s self-development. In ancient Greece, philosophers frequently discussed the different types of love. Sometimes, you still read these terms in old books or in discussions of the Greek language or history. The four types of love in Greek are Eros, Phileo, Storge, and Agape.

Agape is the purest form of love. Normally, people love one another for a reason. You feel a kinship with your friends, so you love them because of the ways that they are like you.

With Agape, you have unconditional love. It is the type of love that leads parents to risk their own lives for their children. It is the kind of love where you keep helping a friend who is addicted to drugs because you love them more than what they have done. It is an almost sacrificial kind of love. It means that you take pleasure in someone and prize them above all else, but would be completely unwilling to abandon them. Even when loving that person or thing leaves you worse off, you still will not give it up.

This is the kind of love where you love unconditionally. You do not care what they can or cannot do for you. All you want is to love them unconditionally and completely. Agape is the one form of love that is truly free from humanity’s errors. It is the love that binds you together fast and provides such rich spiritual blessings. Until you have experienced Agape, you have not experienced true, complete love. This correlates with the energy of nature. As nature loves us unconditionally, by providing us the benefits of breathable air, nourishment, and liveable conditions, despite how wasteful and indifferent we treat our planet.

Agape is not a feeling; it’s a motivation for action that we are free to choose or reject. Agape is a sacrificial love that voluntarily suffers inconvenience, discomfort, and even death for the benefit of growth and rebirth of one’s self and others. Inspired by a series of summertime dreams that I experienced and my personal creative expression of my inner growth and healing journey. The three-part collection is available as elevated animated collectible NFTs. The 2D prints come on high-quality canvas material in various sizes. The frame for the canvas prints is not included.

Thank you so much for viewing this collection.

I thoroughly enjoyed creating it.
