Time to Stop Giving Your Art Away for Free in the Name of Altruism

In Harman's typographic artwork, Time to Stop Giving Your Art Away for Free in the Name of Altruism, words emerge and fade, mirroring the fleeting value of art in the digital era. Many artists, lured by the promise of secondary sales, share their work freely, believing in the illusion of altruism. However, this visual commentary reminds us that digital generosity doesn't pay bills or ensure sustenance. The fading words symbolize the risks of gratuitous distribution: art's devaluation and the challenge of sustaining oneself in a world quick to consume but slow to compensate. Harman's piece is both a call to action and a testament to the artist's intrinsic value, urging recognition and rightful compensation.
