Gems of the week 💎 03

Gems is a weekly series where I share my favorite NFT finds amongst the chaos and whirlwind of crypto.

This weeks theme has unintentionally turned out to be mythological, dreamlike and otherworldly. A mix of editions, collabs, genesis and secondaries, I’m drawn to these pieces because they encourage me to dream and be somewhere I’ve never been.

Ahead of the pandemic, I used to really love traveling and experiencing new places but since I’m immunocompromised, that’s all sort of been tainted tbh. Now I find myself traversing through the wonders of art and honestly? I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I’m sharing these works simply because I adore them but please still DYOR!

The Guardian

"Seeing some news about some people trying to destroy nature under the pretext of protecting or other intentions, what I imagine is a mythological figure of a Tengu who protects the forest/where he lives or is now known as a guardian of nature."
