A Glass House
Miray Kurtuluş is a musician and visual artist who crafts intricate collages. This animated collage is accompanied by beautifully haunting melodic audio which explores the weight of the situation in the affected regions, the systemic neglect of infrastructure, and the meaning of home and what that means for individuals in a community. This piece is available as an edition of 100 for 2 XTZ, with 100% of the proceeds going to the fundraiser collab.
Luminous Hope
Erwin Cruz, also known as CRUZZER, is a digital painter who explores figure fundamentals with a reduced palette range with traditional techniques. The interplay between light and shadow in this piece enhances the depth of form, and the brush textures surrounding the figure contrast the smooth and airy quality of the face. This piece is available as an edition of 15 for 20 XTZ, with 100% of the proceeds going to the fundraising contract.
Hope
Düzen is an audiovisual artist whose monochromatic 3D artworks explore form, space, displacement, light and shadow. Accompanied by audio, the light orb shifts and affects the pillar form, playing with negative space. This piece is available as an edition of 100 for 3 XTZ, with 100% of the proceeds going to the fundraising contract.
Safe With Me
Karina Theo is an AI artist and digital painter who creates works which study fashion and fantasy figures with muted palettes. In this digital painting, she explores a more saturated palette, a portrait of a woman surrounded by fruit. This piece is available as an edition of 50 for 2 XTZ, with 100% of the proceeds going to the fundraising wallet.
Tranquility
Marina Trushnikova is a watercolor artist and Argentine Tango dancer whose recent works focus on minimal palette portrait explorations. The tenderness of the figure in this piece is contrasted by the deep blues and black tones of the palette, with highly textured brushwork. This piece is available as an edition of 25 for 2 XTZ, with all proceeds going to the fundraising contract.
Sedefkar Mehmed Agha
Michael Alstad, also known as ĐΔŦŞŁΔ is an artist, creative designer and researcher whose work focuses on the decay and exploring the formal structures of architecture. In this photographic piece, he captures the elaborate face of the structure, emphasizing the height and reach of the tower further accentuated by the bird in flight at the top of the frame. This piece is available as an edition of 50 for 2 XTZ, with 100% of the proceeds going to the fundraising collab contract.
🕊 (from A Symbol of Love Collection)
Natalie Luisa, also known as NLTDigitalArt is an experimental multidisciplinary creative who has utilized emojis as a medium to create this fundraising piece. By selecting based on color, shape and tone each emoji becomes a pixel to build a cohesive and distinct piece. The effect gives the impression of intricate textured needlework, built upon the emotive shorthand of the digital era. This piece is available as an edition of 100 for 1.5 XTZ, with 100% of the proceeds going to the fundraising contract.
