In this case, deadline does not mean the fixed date, but rather a line after which it is clear that a project will fail. The image symbolizes small projects and artists (not only in NFT Space) who are expected to make it to success on their own. Often enough support only comes when things look promising. But then the support comes too late. At some point the project has consumed all of its substance and reserves and fails.
I started with the picture without an idea and just worked my way up to it. Admittedly, it's a bit drastic. But in a figurative sense it symbolizes exactly what I was thinking about at the moment.
The moral of the story:
If you like artists and projects, then give them enough support, even if it doesn't seem like a great investment. It's not just about the financial value either. Every tweet, every like, every interaction helps your favorite projects. You know what to do ;) <3
