The original acrylic painting this NFTique was based on had been inspired by my visit to Philadelphia, PA back in 2011.

The city of Rocky Balboa, cheesesteaks and the Liberty Bell. The place were ideals of freedom were brought to life, and where Nicolas Cage risked his life for a pair of steampunk 3D glasses.

Philadelphia.

The City of Brotherly Love got its name from Greek words Phileo (Love) and Adelphos (Brother).

Humane. Beautiful. Timeless.

Although the elements the NFT and the original artwork consist of are identical, the concepts behind them are not. Hung as a rhombus, the painting represents a fragile balance of peace and equality. Tilt the canvas to one side, and you have a helping hand saving a fellow man from harm. Tilt it to the other, and you have him returning the favor. The motion of the friendly handshake on the digital art piece however symbolizes mutual respect, honesty and trust.
