Solo Exhibition at NFT Factory

NFT Factory, Paris, Solo exhibition

September brought a truly memorable solo exhibition at NFT Factory in Paris, where my works were showcased across the venue's extensive digital displays. The show featured several of my 1/1s and offered space to share the stories behind the work with visitors, collectors, and groups from YSL Beauty, Chanel, Bang & Olufsen, and Bright Moments.

It was humbling and exhilarating in equal measure, and it was a real joy to connect with the collectors and visitors who came through.

Studio pizza party

Collectors, friends, and generous support

I hosted a pizza party at the studio and invited a few friends over. Bringing this community into the physical space and sharing the work in person has been one of the quiet joys of the year.

What's Ahead

A move to Bangkok

In March I am expanding my base to Bangkok while keeping a presence in Singapore, a move toward new adventures and experiences that I hope will add depth to the work. If you are ever in either city, let me know.

Looking Ahead

Over the last three years I have been widening the work in a few directions, new software and techniques, yes, but lately also art history and philosophy. It is less about getting better at what I do and more about understanding the bigger picture behind it.

Art history has been genuinely eye-opening, connecting older movements with what I am trying to say now. Philosophy, especially ideas about identity and what makes us who we are, has started to shape how I approach the work. You may have noticed AI creeping into a recent piece; I am not chasing the tech for its own sake, but for how it can express the human experience as we move further into a digital world.

Your support is what fuels this exciting, sometimes sleepless journey. Thank you for being part of the adventure.
