With "MEGAMI," Saito’s third collection, the focus shifts to self-discovery and empowerment. Unlike the exclusive 1/1 pieces of his earlier projects, "MEGAMI" adopts a collectible format, enabling a broader audience to engage with the art. Each goddess in the collection is distinct, inviting collectors to choose their own and embark on a journey of introspection. This diverse array of goddesses mirrors the individuality of its owners, making "MEGAMI" not just a collectible, but a tool for rediscovering one’s own value. Through this project, Saito envisions a future where more people find confidence and inspiration in their personal journeys.
Following "GESTURES," Saito introduced "BRILLIANT," a collection that celebrated individuality and rejected the homogenization of art for mass consumption. This series encouraged creators to embrace their unique identities and shine authentically in their craft. By doing so, Saito expressed his dream of a world where diversity in creativity is cherished, inspiring both artists and audiences to honor the uniqueness of artistic expression. "BRILLIANT" served as a powerful reminder that true creativity thrives in authenticity.
Naoki Saito's NFT projects embody a larger vision of creativity as a tool for empowerment and transformation. Starting with "GESTURES," Saito explored how NFTs could reshape the art world by ensuring that creators are properly recognized and rewarded for their work. This foundational collection positioned art as a medium not just for expression but for fostering a culture of fairness and respect for creative labor. Through these projects, Saito invites a conversation about the evolving role of digital art in building equitable systems for artists.
