My interpretation of TIME TIMEPieces project theme ‘Building A Better Future’ is expressed through a little girl character where she looks toward a future with the option to begin her adventure with either Fiat Money or Crypto.
This little girl is from Borneo, and the mountain in the background is Mount Kinabalu, the highest mountain in Borneo. Lush forests surround the mountain, and the land is rich and healthy. The banknote in the centre reflects a changing perception of currencies and their role in our time. This banknote is issued by Memebank, a parody central bank that pokes fun at fiat currencies with crypto meme culture. Hidden in this banknote are “easter eggs” such as morse codes, a very pixelated “decentralised” text, and even smaller pixelated icons.
This NFT represents my aspiration and hope for a future where little girls are empowered to choose their adventures and determine their own choices - a world that celebrates nature, technology, art and the human race (little icons within the banknote representing these four elements through icons of a rocket, a cat, a kite and a human). This piece is also a special tribute to little girls from Borneo and Southeast Asia. 💚

I can’t thank the TIME team enough for this incredible opportunity, and also for my team who worked on this project with me!
