HAVE A GOOD TRIP explores life as a “Game of Life” that everyone must play. There is no instruction manual, no referee and no definitive answer. Each of us starts from a different point, yet we are all on the same board, filled with choices, moments of losing our way, and awakening.
Sidehouse Sunshine (SHSS) uses art as a space to explore the mind, reality and the self through Buddhist perspectives and inner experiences of altered states of consciousness. These open a deeper view into the inner world and ask whether we are truly players in the game of life, or merely characters driven by an underlying system.
The exhibition draws a parallel between the game of life and samsara, the Buddhist cycle of birth and death, joy and suffering, desire and detachment. Each artwork works as a “level” in the game, guiding visitors towards awareness through symbolic imagery, subconscious exploration and surrealism.
Rather than an escape from reality, HAVE A GOOD TRIP encourages us to see the world with awareness: every moment is a training ground for the mind, and every decision is a chance to play the game of life anew.
