AVARITIA is a piece that I created in early April 2022, and my interpretation of what it is like to be an artist on NFT twitter at that moment in time.
This is not me saying avatars are necessarily a scam, or saying “fuck avatars, buy art” like many do, but it is more just a commentary of how I feel nowadays going on to twitter, seeing absolutely no posts from those I want to see the most, and being absolutely blasted in the face by avatar projects and people screaming about floors, at some point it just gets really tiring to have to sift through hundreds of speculative posts just to see someone truly creating and making art that isn’t a derivative of a derivative of a derivative.
In this piece, I asked friends of mine, family and collectors to throw me random words, and I’d turn them into avatars, this was basically my way of showing how literally anything is being turned into an avatar project.
I believe that artists will have their day, and things will become like the old days again. But for now, this is my testament to what the space was like in my own eyes.
