soul nishikigoi 魂錦鯉

eleven 1/1 works made as a tribute to japan, hand gifted to people i met in tokyo

Soul Nishikigoi (魂錦鯉) is a collection of eleven 1/1 works made as a tribute to Japan, its people, and its culture. I hand-picked these pieces from thousands of outputs of my long-form algorithm, one at a time.

They were never sold. Each one was hand gifted to someone I met in Tokyo, at my first Bright Moments event, as thanks for the welcome I was shown. The koi carries its meaning in Japan as an emblem of love and friendship, which is exactly what the trip turned out to be about.

The collection lives on OpenSea.
