“Manifestation Anthem (Blasé Blasé)” (2023) is a mixed media collage on wood that manifests beauty and luxury in the life of the artist.

As with much of Whitaker's work there is a sense of spirituality and humor imbued. This is at the forefront in "Manifestation Anthem (Blasé Blasé)". Playing into hot-girl internet manifestation tactics Whitaker believes there is a ritual in our media consumption. While screaming a hook in your car may not be equivalent to a GameStop investment Kreyshawn had the right idea. “Go crazy, get money. Do my dance like no one saw me. Going down like no one taught me. Can't hear haters blasé blasé” is a spell for wealth Whitaker will happily claim.
