Ephemera are transitory collectibles (e.g. tickets, flyers) which were originally expected to have only short-lasting usefulness and were not foreseen to be preserved.

This is to say NFTs are here to stay, against the expectations of some. Yet I strongly encourage printing my pieces and making these prints your ephemeral non-blockchain collectibles as well.

I also can see the emotions evoked by this collection as ephemeral. Fleeting moments, forgotten memories, transient and fragile. Fugitives of our memory. I aim for my pieces to return to you those lost bits of time.

All the pieces are fully generated with the same code. I use Python and cairo. The script uses many random parameters, such as modes, the colour scheme or the placement, length and density of the lines. A lot of effort goes into ensuring the parameters fall in the predefined ranges that produce the most striking outputs. The outputs are then curated by myself.
