It wouldn't be a worthy piece of blockchain mythology if it didn't embody loss and grieving on the blockchain, and strive to become the ritual place to let go and mourn the digital entities known as NFTs.

Click on the psychopomp: experience loss & grieving on the blockchain
Guide: the final memory is a 2160p video version of your artwork. Through the psychopomp's guidance, the vessel is the wallet of choice, remembering who you were means you sign in with it, remembering where it was means typing in the smart contract address of the token you wish to let go, and remembering what it was is the number of token in the smart contract.
Remember anything sent to the 0xdead is forever, proceed with caution.
The first series to process eternal loss on the blockchain.
AIsles
Playing with AI while creating the series, a twin series of 313 painterly AIsles emerged from the void, giving an artificial exploration in a more simple and completely different take on the legacy of the Isle.
