Welcome to The Warhol Project
Summary:
The Warhol Project is a deeply personal and imaginative exploration of identity, creativity, and the unseen threads that connect us across time. Blending memoir, dream, philosophy, and symbolism, it asks big questions: Who are we really? Where do we come from? And what if parts of us have lived before?
Inspired by the life and mystery of Andy Warhol, this project reflects on art, fame, memory, and the strange moments that feel bigger than coincidence. It’s a space for wonder—for anyone who’s ever felt like they didn’t quite fit, or like their story stretched beyond this lifetime. Through poetic chapters and thought-provoking ideas, The Warhol Project offers a new way of seeing yourself and the world.
The Warhol Project was created in collaboration with AI, drawing from personal experiences while navigating altered states of perception. Much of this work was written during and after a period of psychosis, where reality, identity, and art blurred into something deeply symbolic.
From Plato's "The Republic:"
And there is another artist,--I should like to know what you would say of him.
Who is he?
One who is the maker of all the works of all other workmen.
What an extraordinary man!
Wait a little, and there will be more reason for your saying so. For this is he who is able to make not only vessels of every kind, but plants and animals, himself and all other things--the earth and heaven, and the things which are in heaven or under the earth; he makes the gods also.
He must be a wizard and no mistake.
Oh! you are incredulous, are you? Do you mean that there is no such maker or creator, or that in one sense there might be a maker of all these things but in another not? Do you see that there is a way in which you could make them all yourself?
What way?
An easy way enough; or rather, there are many ways in which the feat might be quickly and easily accomplished, none quicker than that of turning a mirror round and round--you would soon enough make the sun and the heavens, and the earth and yourself, and other animals and plants, and all the, other things of which we were just now speaking, in the mirror.
