JELILO rides a wave emerging from a Japanese lucky amulet, evoking the interplay between chance and effort. The painting invites viewers to ponder whether luck, symbolized by the amulet, truly has the power to shape our destiny, or if it is our hard work and determination that ultimately steer us in the right direction. As JELILO surfs the crest of fortune, the piece challenges us to reflect on the role of luck versus the value of perseverance in our journey toward success.
