βA man who knows how to battle, will win many battles. But a man who knows when to battle, will not lose a single one.β- Sun Tzu (adaption of a quote). β οΈπLink in the bio
The idea for this coin was included in artwork that I had βSoshβ draw for me back in 2024- Choices: youβre faced with a multitude of them each day, and whether you realize it or not at that time, some of the decisions that you make will be life changing. Literally everything in your life involves choices and is directly shaped by each decision made.
When looking at this coin, a person could easily form an immediate perception that it serves the purpose of telling them to βgive what ya got, or give up.β - on the contrary. As many of you know, most of what I do has a ton of meaning put into it and often holds a mulit-faceted purpose. This piece is no different.
I think the βFIGHTβ to most would be self-explanatory. But, fighting is more than just the physical form... this is a visual drive to go harder, never give up, never surrender. In this case, THE ABSENCE OF FIGHTING WOULD MEAN ABSOLUTE DEATH; whether physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually.
The βYIELDβ side of this coin is the one that I feel would be the easiest to be misinterpreted. Many see that word and have associated it as being the weaker choice of the two. They see it as βturning overβ, cowering, and giving in... However, if you think about how many past battles were won, it was because of strategy. As much as a person would like to rush in and βgive it what ya gotβ at the moment, sometimes that isnβt enough to win; it isnβt the wisest choice, and the end result can be worse than the initial situation. This especially applies to the battles that One faces with those that we know and come into contact with on a daily basis. Instead of thinking of this option as βgiving upβ, I would encourage you to think of it as βregroupingβ. Donβt get me wrong, there are situations where yielding is NOT an option!
