The surge in Bitcoin inscriptions served as a source of inspiration, leading me to contemplate the concept of art being encoded directly on the blockchain tokens. To capture this idea in the physical world, I created an image capturing nature’s markings preserved on natural rock.

This exploration of permanence and preservation is ingrained in my work, as I am fascinated by the idea of using different methods of permanence. Just as the markings on the rock have been preserved over time, I see the potential for my own art to be preserved through the blockchain, immortalizing it in a new and exciting way.
