Start children off on the way they should go,
and even when they are old they will not turn from it.
A LEOPARD CANNOT CHANGE ITS SPOTS.
This proverb speaks a simple and merciless truth: sooner or later, a person’s nature shows.
Masks can change. Roles can be played. People can pretend for a while, and even convince others — but what someone truly is cannot be erased.
The “spots” are not decoration: they are the deep structure of character, instinct, and intention.
It is a proverb about human truth: certain patterns always return, like a signature.
Those who are loyal tend to remain loyal.
Those who are false eventually fall back into falsehood.
Those who harm often find a way to harm again — even after presenting themselves as “changed”.
This does not mean nobody can improve.
It means real change is not a statement: it is long, serious work — and it is rare.
And when that work is not real, reality resurfaces.
Like the leopard’s spots.
I create and publish these proverbs through digital images made with Artificial Intelligence not because AI can replace photography or “pure” art, but because I want to use a new medium as an expressive tool.
I do not become a servant of the machine: I use it.
I bend it to my own language to build symbols, to break patterns, and to remind that the truth about human beings — for better or worse — always leaves a mark.
Means that a tiny spark of hope, truth, or goodness stands out powerfully against a background of ignorance, despair, or evil.

First wall of a new project I'm working on playing with chinese proverbes known as Cheng Yu which are a combination of 4 characters that together form a idiom.
This one is "nine cows one hair" which means small, insignificant, a useless unfightable cause ... I painted this in one of the old historical neighborhoods of shanghai that are getting bulldozed to make way for modern highrises and department stores, displacing the current population and the people that had been living there for years in order to cater to the rich.
AI creation on Nightcafe
Does it make any sense? With adopting a prompt by another creator and adding my own 'mustard', I deliberately try to confuse and make AI halucinate.

Wisdom calls aloud in the street,
she raises her voice in the public squares;
at the head of the noisy streets she cries out,
in the gateways of the city she makes her speech:
"How long will you simple ones love your simple ways?
How long will mockers delight in mockery
and fools hate knowledge?
Proverbs 1:20-22
He who keeps instruction is in the way of life,
But he who refuses correction goes astray.
Proverbs 10:17

The Holy Scriptures speaks about increase lawness and cruelty in the last days.
I'm sure this is not confined within one location or a country, but all across the world, an increase lawlessness abound. If we haven't witnessed real time cruelty done to another human being, pay attention to animals. Countless animal cruelty happening that it's ignored, tolerated or just majority of people couldn't be bothered to raised alarms against the practice.
As I love animals, this cruelty has impacted me.
Matthew 24:12
"And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold."
Proverbs 12:10
"Whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast, but the mercy of the wicked is cruel."
Luke 12:6
"Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten before God."
Numbers 22:32
"And the angel of the Lord said to him, “Why have you struck your donkey these three times? Behold, I have come out to oppose you because your way is perverse before me."
Isaiah 66:3
"“He who slaughters an ox is like one who kills a man; he who sacrifices a lamb, like one who breaks a dog's neck; he who presents a grain offering, like one who offers pig's blood; he who makes a memorial offering of frankincense, like one who blesses an idol. These have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations;"
Job 38:42
"Who provides for the raven its prey, when its young ones cry to God for help, and wander about for lack of food?"
God gave man dominion over animals but not to abuse them.
7 Two things I ask of you;
deny them not to me before I die:
8 Remove far from me falsehood and lying;
give me neither poverty nor riches;
feed me with the food that is needful for me,
9 lest I be full and zdeny you
and say, “Who is the LORD?”
or lest I be poor and steal
and profane the name of my God.
