GM everyone!
After a day of processing and taking it all in, I could finally sit and write everything there is to say about my exhibition.
Living Memories has been six years in the making
Six years of traveling across Japan
Six years of creating individual pieces, and building an archive of moments.
When I first moved to Japan, everything felt unfamiliar, as if I were living inside a movie. From the moment we (my wife and I) created our first piece, I dreamed of building a space where others could step into that feeling.
Seeing familiar faces, people who have known me since that first piece in 2021, experience this evolution filled me with joy and nostalgia.
These six years have been about more than creating art, they’ve also been about building unforgettable friendships.
I want to thank from the bottom of my heart, everyone who experienced "Living Memories" and helped bring these crazy ideas to life.
@adamilenich, your kindness and commitment to putting artists first have helped make this dream possible. I can’t thank you enough for everything you continue to do for me and the studio.
@lisac8tlin & @museumartlight, thank you for everything over the past two months. You helped make one of my dreams come true.
An exhibition like this requires the right space, equipment, pieces, and people. @sbmckeon, thank you for opening your beautiful gallery to us and allowing Living Memories to be its first exhibition.
At first, I was nervous, wondering whether anyone would come. Then, little by little, friends began to arrive.
Sitting on the couch alongside @Dannyb0yyy_, @ArtOnBlockchain @AdamWeitsman @redbeardnft @eli_schein @nullinger @RogerDickerman @MaryPatBing @NedRyersonBing @TheMiamiApe @Daimon444 @punk8164 @tonyherrera @bryanbrinkman @OmarZRobles @WAPSHOP_ETH @musicalnetta @dutchtide @SuperchiefNFT @jared_poz and so many more, telling them our wild stories and watching their reactions while hearing what the work made them feel, filled my heart.
I wish I could remember every beautiful thing people shared with me.
Thank you to the Museum of Art and Light for everything, from logistics to projection mapping, and, above all, for your friendship. You felt like family. This is only a glimpse of what we’ll create together.
Despite the drama and speculation surrounding the timeline, gatherings like Art Blocks Marfa remind me why I’m here.
Thank you to @artblocks_io and @opensea for supporting artists and creating spaces where we can share our passion.
Sharing the process behind each piece meant so much to me. In an era of artificial intelligence, I wanted people to feel the time, care, and human experience woven into this work.
Watching the pieces brought back memories of journeys with my wife: scouting locations, carrying equipment, filming through snow and typhoons, and experiencing everything that unfolded along the way.
Living Memories is our journal, a record of two free spirits trying to create, explore, and live fully together. I hope it becomes part of our legacy and awakens a sense of wonder in others.
Life is made of moments, and those moments become memories.
Thank you all for being part of ours.

Derech retweeted
Beyond happy to add "Nocturnal" by @IDerech to my collection.
I feel that Derech has an amazing way of capturing and instilling culture in his work, and it was a joy to connect with him in Marfa this year.
One of the kindest and most down to earth artist that I've met!
as someone who is usually isolated from most things happening in our space by living in Japan, I’m grateful for moments like Marfa to travel and meet other artists, collectors, and friends.
I understand that these trips aren’t cheap by any means, but it’s these events where I’ve met most people who’ve had a great impact on my career.
I greatly recommend it to anyone that’s never been to one to go, it’s an unforgettable experience!
Special thanks to @ArtOnBlockchain and @AdamWeitsman for being the first ones to show up to my exhibition when everyone was still asleep, you guys are the best 🫂
