“Bliss” acts like a shifted realities that explores the concept of change and its nuanced implications. Presented as a game governed by man-made rules, the piece challenges the weight traditionally associated with the notion of change. Players navigate through this game, where the mood dictates the course, altering or shifting meanings with each move.

The juxtaposition of statements like "The pandemic of no change is contagious" and "The pandemic of change is not contagious"underscores the paradoxical nature of change itself. Despite efforts to instigate change, it often leads to confusion rather than progress.

The stamp, a symbol of human authority, serves as a potent metaphor for the power dynamics at play, with individuals wielding the ability to shape meaning and influence outcomes. The image of a hand poised to manipulate the stamp reflects the precarious nature of decision-making in everyday life, where individual actions can profoundly impact collective realities.

Ultimately, the artwork invites contemplation on the complexities of change and the underlying motivations that drive human behavior.
