Overview

The 6529 Meme Card project asked me to merge the language of internet memes with my own 3D visual style. Through conversations with collectors and the wider 6529 community, the piece became a meditation on cryptocurrency, self-sovereignty, and the social culture around digital art.

The work is titled Faces of Freedom. Its theme, Freedom to Transact, connects the open-metaverse values of the 6529 project with my digital humans, turning each figure into a carrier for symbolic references, movement, and collective identity.

Edition of 300

Faces of Freedom is a dense 3D composition about the right to transact without permission. I treat each figure as a site for symbols, references, and hidden messages, embedding the language of crypto culture in my digital-human vocabulary. The edition matters because The Memes by 6529 is not only a marketplace object. It is a living community archive of open-metaverse ideas.

Process

I built the image as a layered field rather than a single literal illustration. I used 3D figures, coded references, and visual citations to translate the theme Freedom to Transact into a body-based composition that could reward both quick recognition and slower inspection.

Statement

Faces of Freedom turns financial autonomy into an image of bodies and identities moving together. It is a Web3 work, but its emotional center is human, the desire to act, exchange, and exist without asking a gatekeeper for permission.

Supporting texts

The work sits within The Memes by 6529, a project that treats meme culture as an artistic and civic language for the open metaverse. The card's trait language reinforces that context: Freedom To Transact, Satoshi, 3D, movement, and Magic Internet Money.
