Hi, and welcome to the new issue of NFT Matrix, where I review NFT Artists’ work. There is no presumption or judgement here, only exposure. The artist I am reviewing is **Okin**. Dark and brooding is how I would describe their work. I look at a couple of the artist’s pieces from their various platforms and provide my review. Hope you enjoy, I’m always open to feedback.

**Piece: “**The RAW Series #1**”**

This piece is indeed raw and creepy! I love the contrasting red and black. Reminds me of a dream or vision.

**Piece: “**The Tears**”**

This is an animated piece, worth viewing at the link. The imagery is reminiscent of a black hole, an eye ball, a watch, and ancient scripts. Brings to mind the interplay between humanity, history, and meaning.

**Piece: “**Strangers in the Mist**”**

This piece has a quote on the link page referencing tribalism and warfare. I love that this piece captures that very well - and the reference to apes also reminds me that war is not unique to humanity. Various topics come to mind - the current Russia-Ukraine War, the tribalism in the United States, the changes brought on by social media to our understanding of ourselves and our tribes.

Well, I hope you enjoyed this brief introduction to the artist! Find their links [here](https://linktr.ee/Okinmakesart).
