I picked this up almost week ago now. To me, he belonged to the circle of names I mostly bumped into again and again online. Throughout the last decades. Of course, I also heard a few of his releases. But I didn't know him personally.
And yet, it keeps circling in my system. Beyond my thoughts revolving around his family. Maybe along the lines of what Kevin wrote earlier. About all the things we didn't tell each other when we could. I also wonder how content Wibo was with his artistic journey. If he found what he was looking for within. If he, deep inside, was satisfied with how he was perceived as a 'creative'. If that's even a possible thing to achieve for anyone. Thank you all for somehow being part of my journey for all these years. For the insights into a different world, culture, its struggle, its fruits, delivering a sense of space and place. Also for the discussions, the clash of opinions, for just being humans. I think we know nothing. And that, especially in the dawn of AI, it's our duty to figure out more frugal ways of communication. To get a better understanding about the human condition, the creative drive, the value of communication through creative work and all that. And I hope this runs in Wibo's spirit.
