Open 24 HRS
Open 24 hours originally came from the idea of a convenience store OPEN sign, and the notion that our brains are open 24 hours, 7 days a week, just like a 7-Eleven store.
It’s important for us to live life with openness and compassion, fearlessly and vivaciously. The concept is that our brain is always working non-stop and running 24/7. So we must take care of it, ourselves and each other and find a cure for Alzheimer’s.
The artists picked the colour pink for the OPEN neon sign because it represents love and all things sweet and happy like bubblegum. The “24hrs” colour blue represents an endless summer sky, the blue sea and makes them feel grounded. Their grandmother has Alzheimer’s and it is important for them to be part of this project to help raise awareness. Memories are an integral part of the soul and living life with an OPEN mind and spirit is crucial to cherishing those special moments 24/7.
