Number 3 of 12 found a new home.
And somehow, every time an older artwork gets collected, it feels like time travel.
This one takes me back to where so much of this journey started. BitcoinTalk, the lotteries we did, people betting on my art, gifts from the community, the first collectors who believed in what I was doing. Some of those collectors I later met in real life. We sat together, talked, and suddenly people who once were only usernames became part of my story.
Now I’m writing a letter for a collector who is relatively new to this space, telling the story behind a work that comes from another chapter of my life. That feels strange and beautiful at the same time.
A lot has been rebuilt since then. I can walk. I can speak. I can write. I can paint.
I’m still trying to reach one of my biggest goals, to live from my art. To simply be a living artist. I know there is probably still a long road ahead.
There were many moments when I wanted to quit. And somehow Bitcoin, the community, the collectors and the art kept pulling me forward.
But lately something has been harder to explain.
Sometimes I feel stuck inside these walls, searching for something I cannot name. Maybe a memory. Maybe a feeling. Maybe a part of myself that never came back.
There was a time when I was lying in a hospital unable to speak, unable to draw, unable to recognize people. There was so much inside me, but no way to say it.
Today I have relearned almost everything. But I live mostly forward, without the memories of the life that came before.
And strangely, now that I can speak again, sometimes words still aren’t enough. Maybe that is why I paint.
When I cannot explain what is missing, I can draw it. When I cannot find the words, I can write a few lines of poetry. When something inside me feels trapped, I can put it onto paper.
I don’t know whether that is something good or something bad. Maybe some of the most beautiful things we create come exactly from the places we cannot explain.
So number 3 of 12 is gone now.
Another artwork, another collector, another little piece of my past moving forward.
The journey continues.
