Back when I was a teen, I had a huge crush on someone. I remember that feeling to be so ultimate, it would engulf me completely. The fact that I was feeling it, is the only thing that mattered in the whole world. Rain, Sun and the wind existed in this world only to exaggerate my emotions.Only to make me ‘feel’ even deeper.Small things floating in puddle used to make me dream of a possibility of the future if I marry this person.

This NFT artwork is a memoir not for that person but to this feeling itself. Back then I would never think so much about anything. I would just exists blissfully in this state of love for as long as I can be.

Now as I grow older, I think way too much. I think about feasibility, I think about opportunity, If this would work or not? I can’t truly let go.The feeling alone doesn’t matter. It needs to be support by logic or construction.We create a structure. We need to say what we think would be right not what we feel is right. We say structure.

“ We aren’t naive anymore”

“We know better now that we are older”.

Naive is something that we were back then. It wasn’t so bad. I felt more connected to my feelings. I say what I felt. If I was angry , I would shout. If I was sad, I would cry. If I was happy, I would laugh.

Sometimes its so hard to see what I really feel now. All that structure and mannerisms, What is it that I really want to tell? I need to dive deeper into this sea of lines and letters to figure out.

I look back and I miss this. The feeling of feeling, The feeling of openness, no barriers or lock just plains with no horizon and infinite possibilities. Being in love, Being happy or sad. It was right there in front of me, ready to take me for a beautiful ride. We used to dream bigger, we didn't care if we get it or not. The fun was living in the dream itself.

NFT Elements

The animation in this NFT is quite abstract. You will find the animation of breaking and releasing of things or small particles of emotions just floating around

Animation of falling in your own emotions

Abstract 3D shapes to show different types of emotions existing inside you and engulfing you completely

Using Sun and rain as a metaphor to enhance these feelings. Rain metaphors are mushrooms, a frog, a swan and a puddle.
