Archive, Shallow Water

I started making digital art recently. Then I realized I couldn't stop. Web3 didn't change what I make - it changed the fact that what I make survives. Every frame in this image holds a world I've built and abandoned and rebuilt. The gold, the flesh, the bioluminescence, the void - these are not collections. They are phases of a search I haven't finished. The blockchain doesn't care which one is my best work. It keeps all of them, half-submerged, waiting. The empty frame in the front is the only one that matters. It's the one I haven't made yet. That's my crypto core - not what I've archived, but the fact that I'm still walking.
