STATEMENT

The series "The Monarch Game" uses the figure of the bird from the former Twitter platform, now X, to explore my experience in the crypto world, NFT communities and blockchain platforms. The work addresses false freedom and teamwork in creation and destruction.

The bird symbolizes the illusory promise of freedom on these platforms, which often hide centralized structures and power dynamics. "The Monarch Game" reveals the duality of collaboration: innovative but also manipulative and destructive.

The series reflects on the complexities of the blockchain ecosystem, where promises of decentralization contrast with market realities. I invite the viewer to consider the tensions between the ideals and practices of these technologies, and to reflect on the true nature of freedom and collaboration in the digital context.
