- What does your genesis artwork mean to you today?
My genesis artwork is for me a symbol of how being courageous and daring pays off. It's a symbol of creativeness, innovation, joy and revolution, coming from something as simple as a meme. At the same time my genesis symbolizes gratefulness. The fact that I was at the right time and place gave me the chance to come across the birth of a subculture that brought so much meaning to my life.
​
- What was a significant event that happened in the 10-year history of Blockchain art that influenced you as an artist?
I witnessed the adoption of ideas that 15 years ago were, in my experience, completely ignored by most people. Ideas of sovereignty, anarchism, decentralized communities, challenge illegitimate authority, and so on. I witnessed an emerging group of creators all around the world that regardless of their background now understand the basic principles of being sovereign individuals and have the courage to fight for our future.
