I’ve always had a thing for combining my creative expressions into singular pieces. Reinventing moments of my life over and over again. Putting fragments together in new ways that tell a new story, but one still rooted in lived experience. Each piece honors my past, my present, and my future.
Why XRPL
I knew I wanted to create a collection on XRPL. Being part of the SEXRP community and experiencing their acceptance and appreciation of my work made me feel at home. It showed me that the XRP community is a place where my art belongs. Creating here gives me the chance to get further involved and contribute something meaningful.
The Creative Process
When I begin a collection, I start completely blank. The art always expresses itself through me. My role is to surrender to it, to flow with it, to listen. I don’t force concepts or themes; they emerge naturally once the energy starts moving.
Each piece becomes a reflection of that state, a record of where I was emotionally, spiritually, and creatively in that moment. The art dictates me, not the other way around. I follow instinct, color, body, and form until something clicks, until I recognize myself in it.
Creating art in this way feels like being both the artist and the observer, watching something unfold that I’m also a part of. It’s a delight and a surprise to me every time, a kind of playful adventure as the art reveals itself. Each piece begins as a mystery of sorts, and I get to discover it right alongside the viewer.
The Art Itself
The 8 pieces in The Abstract Self are digital collages that weave together fragments of my world - my paintings, my photography, and self-portraits. For this collection I layered unfinished paintings, textures, brushstrokes, and body imagery to create something that lives between the physical and digital.
Once the visual work is complete, the next part of the art becomes more mental and reflective. That’s when I begin listening to what my creation was trying to express, what it wanted me to understand or remember. It’s a process of integration, of weaving together my past creative journeys and reimagining those memories through movement and color.
Reflections & Philosophy
This is where the dialogue with the art truly begins. For me, creativity doesn’t end when the piece is finished, it transforms. Through reflection, I explore the messages my art sends back to me. The reflections are a way to translate what I intuitively expressed into language, to bridge the emotional and the intellectual.
As each piece is collected, I’ll share a written reflection (and possibly a video) to unpack the ideas, feelings, and philosophy behind it. These reflections are meant to spark thought and invite you into the dialogue.
Of course, maybe you just love nude art and sensual expression and that’s okay too! The art stands on its own and can simply be enjoyed visually. Or, if you’re drawn to the deeper exploration, you can dive into the philosophical side with me. Life is always a choose-your-own-adventure.
Collector Rewards
As each piece in The Abstract Self is collected, I’ll be rewarding collectors with SEXRP tokens as a thank-you for supporting both my art and the community that inspired it.
A total of 243mil $SXRP will be distributed across the eight pieces. Early collectors will receive higher amounts, with rewards gradually decreasing as the collection fills.
This isn’t just about rewards, it’s about connection. SEXRP represents the energy of community, creativity, and acceptance that made me feel at home here. Collecting these pieces means becoming part of that story, part of an ongoing experiment in how art, identity, and blockchain culture can merge.
Looking Ahead
The Abstract Self will likely be my final art collection for a while. After its release, I’ll be shifting focus toward new forms of creative and personal exploration.
I want to return to my music and cello practice, make time for movement and physical expression, and continue growing through discipline and flow. Professionally, I’m beginning to explore the creation of a PolyAnnie token and the development of a Wise Autonomous Organization (WAO) - an evolution of the DAO concept centered on wisdom, art, collaboration and tech.
In time, I plan to expand back into abstract performance art, and begin organizing talks, workshops, and community events around art, expression, and decentralized culture in 2026.
This collection feels like both an ending and a beginning. A moment of reflection before stepping into what’s next.
So, coming soon to XRP Cafe is The Abstract Self - an exploration of art, philosophy, and self through abstract nude forms. Check out the collection here: https://xrp.cafe/collection/abstractself
