Blog post with bios and art previews: blog.gamma.io/follow-the-marigolds

Marigolds hold profound significance across various cultures, symbolizing themes of love, devotion, and remembrance. In Mexico, where I currently reside, during Día de los Muertos, marigolds, known as "cempasúchil," are believed to guide the spirits of the departed back to the living with their vibrant color and scent. In India, marigolds are integral to religious ceremonies and festivals, symbolizing auspiciousness and used in offerings to deities. Their bright hues are thought to attract positive energy and ward off negativity. In Christianity, marigolds, referred to as "Mary's Gold," are associated with the Virgin Mary, symbolizing her golden aura and divine presence. On a personal and practical level, Marigolds were my grandma's favorite flower and she planted them everywhere to keep the deer away from the food gardens.

These cross-cultural connections highlight the marigold's universal role in embodying love, spirituality, and the eternal cycle of life — so I was inspired to challenge this group of artists to explore the Marigold — along with inspiration coming from seasonal timing, the flowers being the same color as the Bitcoin logo and the Sphere in Las Vegas during the recent UFC Fight Nights 306 had an immersive multimedia experience that wove in marigolds. These shared symbols tap into common human experiences, fostering connections across diverse societies.  In this curation, I pulled artists from different areas of the world and varied practices to embrace this universal symbol and what it means to them with the only caveat it has to include the symbolism of the marigold somewhere in the piece. I hope you enjoy 🌈🖤

***TOP MINTER REWARD***
Top minter will get a limited physical print edition from Void Metaspace as a reward. >> **[Follow Void Metaspace Here](x.com/voidmetaspace?s=21)** <<

When I make art for aliens it is an exercise in thinking beyond our immediate physical realm and experiences to connect with something larger than ourselves, while also an admission I just don’t feel human, sometimes existing in an inherent disconnect with some collective reality. I just hope the aliens like it.

Minted for The Void Art Gallery inaugural show Expanse 2024.

Choose Rich. Choose crypto. Choose a shitcoin. Choose a pfp. Choose cryptoart. Choose a big fucking lambo, choose pepe, memes, wgmi, ngmi, and we are so back. Choose the devs doing something. Choose shitposting, touching grass, and mental health breaks. Choose 100x investments or zero. Choose a metaverse. Choose your alpha group. Choose hosting spaces and podcasts. Choose thirstposts and matching travel pics. Choose hoodies in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DYOR and shitposting on Saturday nights. Choose sitting at the computer watching the rollercoaster, existential crisis inducing charts , stuffing fucking edibles in your mouth. Choose mooning at the end of it all, taking profits, nothing more than another sweaty degen in your mom’s basement suddenly supporting their whole fucked up family that has no clue what you are even talking about.

An homage to 80s style and it's impact on contemporary feminine identity especially in relation to cyberpunk culture.
