A stark, halftone portrait split down the middle — half clarity, half distortion, inspired by Barbara Kruger — layered with bold typography declaring: “Crypto is a battleground.” This piece captures Vitalik Buterin as both architect and soldier of the crypto era: visionary on one side, embattled figure on the other. The design references protest posters and propaganda graphics, positioning Ethereum’s creator inside the cultural clash that defines Web3.
Created as part of the Crypto Battleground Series, this work stands as a reminder that beneath the code and markets lies a fight for ideals, power, and the future of digital sovereignty.
