MY ARTIST STATEMENT
Style: Craftivism ✂️ 🧵 🧶 🪡 ✊

To me, Bitcoin embodies the idea of absolute freedom, and I want to share that message with the world through my art.

🧵✨ One of my favorite ways to be creative is through embroidery.
I love making pretty paintings about Bitcoin using colorful threads.
Embroidery lets me add a special touch to each piece, making them unique and interesting.

🎨 All my paintings have a unique and one-of-a-kind design, just like Bitcoin itself.

🪙 Just as Bitcoin has been “declared dead” many times, my embroidery is a cultural heritage that I am bringing back to life.

💫 Bitcoin art is modern art, but every modern art form eventually becomes traditional.

❤️ Art is the love of other humans made tangible across space and time.

When a person can’t get a hug from a friend, art is there to make them feel seen and understood.

💓With the help of kind and caring people during the COVID-19 pandemic, I made over 500 free two-layer DIY masks for kids. I used about 300 meters of fabric, 50 meters of elastic, and spent 200 hours making them!💓
