Inspired by Aristotle's thoughts, JZL Garden created 2,000 Avatars with different attributes. We will start from his youth and continue to launch other series of NFTs to showcase his life.

The second issue of JZL Garden’s “Dandelion” series of NFTs: calling for the spirit of egalitarianism and advocating a beautiful vision of diversity and inclusion.

Narrative:

  • Breaking down social barriers: inclusion and diversity

In the 1960s, Martin Luther King's nonviolent protests and the passage of the Civil Rights Act marked the beginning of people's attention and reflection on past discrimination issues among races, genders, religions, and other groups, in the hope of achieving a more just and equal society. Over time, this awareness began to gain popularity around the world and became a general consensus in society. People began to explore how to better support diversity and inclusion, and better understand and respect the values ​​and perspectives of different people. This shift is not only a change at the legal level, but also a change at the social and cultural levels, laying the foundation for a better, equal, and inclusive future.

  • Self-exploration: softness and freedom

In the 1960s, there was a wave of pursuit of freedom in society, including the "Women's Liberation Movement", the "Black Power Movement" and the music creation of artists such as Bob Dylan. People began to question the constraints of various norms and expectations in the past society on individuals and tried to break free from them. In this context, personal self-awareness and self-expression became increasingly important. People began to pay attention to the uniqueness and diversity of individuals, explore and express their own identities and opinions. In these movements, people tried to break down discrimination and prejudice against women and minorities and promote equality and inclusion. This wave led to a broader cultural revolution, encouraging people to explore themselves and express themselves in unique ways.

  • Post-discrimination era: a beautiful vision of hope and win-win

The social justice movement began to rise, driven by initiatives against racism and violence, and by those who fought for a more equal and inclusive society. People began to pay more attention to achieving justice and equality in order to build a more inclusive and friendly society. During this stage, people emphasized solidarity and cooperation, centered on common goals, and promoted mutual understanding and respect. In the post-discrimination era, people began to value the respect and power of vulnerable groups, so that they also had the right to equal opportunities, in order to form a more equal rights society full of love and peace, diversity and inclusion, freedom and equality.

Art Design:

Background: Grand metaphor: the changing direction of modern society - peace of peace, equality of equal rights

In the ancient Greek society full of major changes and class contradictions, Aristotle never gave up his call for diversity and inclusiveness. His life was based on rationality and thinking, and he emphasized that the purpose of mankind is to achieve rationality and to form virtues through continuous practice and repetition. Aristotle's call for tolerance and rationality was like a bright candle in the darkness in the slavery era full of ideological shackles. After thousands of years of inheritance, it has become a fire of thought in the long river of civilization.

Garden incorporates this rational call for diversity and inclusiveness and the spirit of egalitarianism into the design of NFT collections, using strong color contrasts such as black and white, blue and yellow to allude to the topic of egalitarianism in society and also showcase Garden's values: coexistence and diversity, inclusion and rationality, equality and peace.

Garden believes that the direction of modern society will eventually be: **Tolerance and friendliness, understanding and respect. **To encourage people to become more flexible and free. For women, to get respect and equal rights; for men, to unload the responsibilities and pressures that they should not bear; for people's livelihood, to live a happier life; for society, more diversified and efficient development; for the world, peace.

Hair color: natural aesthetic

Happiness is the best

Aristotle, the philosophical master who transcends time and space, his thoughts are not only a treasure of history, but also a treasure of our today. When he was young, he entered Plato's Academy and stayed there for more than 20 years until he became a teacher of the academy. Unlike his predecessors, he did not just write a few words, but used pen and ink to constantly record his thoughts, covering many fields such as biology, ethics, metaphysics and literary criticism. His writing recorded the depth and breadth of human wisdom, allowing us to see the shining stars of thought.

Aristotle has always believed that the ultimate goal of life is to pursue happiness. However, happiness is not a simple enjoyment, but a noble quality and a manifestation of the highest good. Aristotle believes that everyone should achieve the highest level of happiness through moral behavior, the pursuit of virtue and a perfect life. People should achieve happiness by constantly pursuing moral perfection. This perfection is not only a norm of personal behavior, but also a social and cultural norm. By pursuing morality and virtue, people can create a more harmonious and beautiful society.

In the era of Web3, we also need to maintain the pursuit of harmony and beauty and take perfect morality as our code of conduct. Garden is committed to integrating Aristotle's moral pursuit into the hair color of the characters in NFT collections. Hair color is not only a symbol of human personality in modern society, but also a way to express values ​​and self-realization. Garden combines Aristotle's color with elemental colors to show the fusion and coexistence of various elements, presenting a more unique aesthetic value.

Clothing: soft and comfortable

Freedom to dress, not pressure and restraint

The ancient Greek period was the most perfect stage for the expression of sexy clothing. Their clothing style was characterized by relatively loose and natural draping styles, emphasizing the natural, free and easy, romantic and harmonious body aesthetics. The commonly worn chiton and himation were characterized by relatively loose and natural draping styles. The most common way was to sew two rectangular pieces of cloth together along any edge, from top to bottom, to form a cylinder with no stitching on the upper edge and hem. The top edge was then sewn, pinned or buttoned at two or more points to form a shoulder seam, with openings reserved for the head and arms. This aesthetic concept allowed the ancient Greeks' clothing to avoid excessive restraint without exposing the body.

In the cyber age, although the human-machine hybrid is full of mechanical and familiar feelings, there is also a patriarchal aesthetic prejudice. In order to pursue natural aesthetics, we should abandon this prejudice and adopt a comfortable and free-spirited aesthetic concept to express personality and aesthetics. In Garden's collection, the ancient Greek chiton and himation clothing decorations are used to emphasize the comfortable and free-spirited aesthetic concept.
