1111

the idea...

‘Eleven Eleven’. Its catchy isn’t it? Catchy, and more convenient than mouthing ‘One thousand, one hundred and eleven’ without exhausting your face muscles. You might be wondering what the number ‘11’ has to do with anything. Well, dear distinguished word-consumer, it has everything to do with Ouverture’s one-year visual art project. In fact, it is more significant of his life, rather than being just an eccentric title.

Numbers apparently have power, as spacey as that sounds; they do. Before you run away screaming, hear me out. We don’t have to believe in crystal balls, fortune cookies, or fishy star-sign content on Instagram, to see that numbers are the basis of human life and the world around us. We are hardly conscious of just how much range numbers really have in our lives: From, birthdays, quantifying your body parts, betting your life-savings on football, painful debit alerts, the amount of failed relationships you have had, blah, blah. To, deeper concepts such as positive and negative connotations of numbers within different cultures, or… why the heck our minds gender numbers.

The concept of numerology isn’t crazy talk about magic; its life, it’s the universe we inhabit. It is the relationship between a number and coincidence, it illustrates how numbers relate to letters in words, names and ideas.

So why 1111? Plainly put, ‘11’ is Ouverture’s lucky number. Tried and proven. His birthday is the eleventh day of April, this project launched on the eleventh day of the eleventh month. On several occasions he has noticed that this particular number stands out to him in his surroundings, literally guides him through life with positive outcomes. The number ‘11’ embodies and reflect possibilities and positivity, so he rightfully decides to crazy with it throughout the 1111 project 11 outstanding works from his portfolio, limited edition of 1,111 prints, $111.10 per print, 1.11 Ether as NFT, 11k followers on his Instagram, this lucky number is embedded in everything the project has to show.
