My favourite anonymous street artist lives in the same area as me, and recently they’ve been much more active. All around the city they graffiti positive messages, and everytime I’m down, I always come across their art like a little Easter egg and it makes my day. Last year I came across a gallery selling their art, after almost 3 years of following their work and attempting to find them. The gallery owner was moving and could not fit the piece through their new gallery, so I picked it up. I negotiated hard though, the piece was originally around $1100, but I got it for $700, since I sent pictures of the artists’ precious work around the city. After closing the deal, I got laid off the next week, and the piece was due to arrive, which took 4 movers to lift it through my balcony. I was very grateful to receive what I thought was a sign from the universe. I’ll put the piece I bought in the comments below.

This is the piece I bought, and it arrived when I got laid off and when I was feeling uncertain about /humankind. But it gave me a lot of hope, I woke up to it every morning for many days, and it imposed its message onto me over time. Here are the movers lifting it into my apartment (which I no longer live in anymore). It barely fit, it is 36x36x36, a hundred pounds, and my window is only 38 inches tall and maybe 50 inches wide.
