“Four years ago today, on August 13th, I minted Wild Mustangs. These images carried me into a new chapter of art — one where a record of my photographs could live on the blockchain, held as both memory and artifact.
It changed the way I thought about my work, not just as something to be seen, but as something to be held, archived, and carried forward digitally.
What began as a record of the untamed became a proof of concept for a new kind of artistic legacy. That day was the first step into a different kind of wild.” -
