Dante Sisofo’s work-in-progress philosophy is rooted in several core principles:
1. Perpetual Learning: He views mastery as a trap and prefers to remain an amateur, particularly in photography, to keep his curiosity and growth alive. He emphasizes learning through failure and exploration.
2. Flux and Evolution: Inspired by Heraclitus, Dante embraces change and transformation as fundamental to life and art. His Flux photography movement exemplifies this, focusing on capturing unique, unrepeatable moments.
3. Minimalism and Essence: Both in life and art, Dante strives to strip away distractions to focus on what truly matters. His transition to black-and-white photography aligns with this, emphasizing light, shadow, and form.
4. Solitude and Inner Strength: He values solitude as a space for self-reflection and growth, aligning with his admiration for figures like Diogenes and Stoic philosophy.
5. Legacy and Impact: Dante aims to leave behind a meaningful legacy through his art, thoughts, and philosophical reflections. He sees his work as a contribution to humanity, encouraging others to think deeply and live authentically.
6. Connection with Nature and the Divine: His work and lifestyle reflect a deep alignment with nature and spirituality, often exploring themes of transcendence, biophilia, and Catholic mysticism.
These principles guide Dante as he navigates his creative and personal journey, emphasizing constant evolution and alignment with his core values.
