Ponk is a fabricated term I came up with. Monk + Punk = Ponk! It describes human beings that came from an artificial womb and serves as an umbrella term for their desirable qualities. For the sake of this article and my collection, they exist.

Artificially created human beings, "Ponks", are free from karma and prenatal influences of their families. They are not like us; hence they don’t need to follow our society’s history, language, concepts and values. A totally blank slate - brain and mind.

Far away from dualistic perception, without exclusion, without rejection accepting everything, they are completely free in their thoughts and feelings. Thus, through their openness, they radiate high vibrational, luminous energy. This represents their "Monk" part.

Equally, they also have the potential of radical condensation, rejection, rebellion and hatred. Thus, the white sheet can be filled with provocation, anarchy and chaos. This is its potential "punk" component.

Both extreme aspects and all intermediate tones add up to the total potential of these beings, which is why their name "Ponk" is the fusion of both polarizing aspects and designations.
Monk + Punk = Ponk.

Our mindset is (currently) characterized by dualistic black and white thinking, emotional polarization, resulting in fear, exclusion, aggressiveness and intolerance. Connected to this is the addiction to rationally grasp, evaluate and categorize everything. In every perspective: evaluative, dualistic mind over intuition, tolerance, diversity and love. The desire to become someone that is free of this dullness and hardness is in the foreground, to freely dispose of the entire keyboard of human potential. This is how the Ponks are manifested. Their clothing, if they choose to wear such, reflects this unrestricted potential.
