I’m not happy in the NFT space anymore Some people only give opportunities to their close friends, while others are ignored I believe everyone in this space deserves equal respect and opportunities, but sadly, not everyone is treated equally When will we change? When will we start supporting each other and building genuine friendships instead of showing favoritism? This space should be about community, friendship, and growing together I’m disappointed with how things are, and I’ve decided to leave Goodbye everyone and I Wishing you all the best

I’ve been less present in the NFT space lately, and I think it’s time to explain why. Not to justify myself or announce my departure, but simply to share my thoughts after five years in this ecosystem. Recently, I mentioned some important collectors who have never collected my work, and some people interpreted that as a lack of gratitude toward those who have supported me. That was never my intention. Recognizing the importance of certain figures in this space doesn’t diminish my gratitude toward those who have chosen to collect my work. Without them, my journey would have been very different, and I’ve never forgotten that. But there’s something else I’d like to explain. Over the past few months, I’ve spent an enormous amount of time working on projects for this community. There was DROITS RÉSERVÉS, a collection of 69 pieces that sold out. Then Orbit, an archive documenting five years of relationships with my collectors. Weeks of work, organizing, structuring, and recognizing the people who have supported me. A huge personal investment, and yet very little reaction. I find it strange that weeks of creative work can go almost unnoticed, while one poorly received post can spark controversy. I’m not saying this out of bitterness, but because I think it reflects something about how this space has evolved. Controversy gets more attention than creation. I entered this space in 2021. I’ve sold over 100 ETH worth of photography on SuperRare, participated in important projects, and collaborated with people I deeply respect. I’m proud of that. But today, the market is profoundly different. Active collectors are rare, and the pressure to remain constantly visible has become overwhelming. I see artists endlessly releasing new work, and I genuinely wonder where scarcity still exists. I also see how much energy some artists spend trying to attract the attention of wealthy collectors. I understand the economic reality behind it, but it’s simply not how I want to operate. I respect collectors, but I don’t believe an artist should have to constantly seek their approval to remain relevant. There’s also an economic reality. My career as a photographer and director outside Web3 is doing very well. DROITS RÉSERVÉS brought me around €5,000, less than what I can earn in two weeks of professional work. Yet I spent a month creating it, followed by several more weeks working on Orbit. I didn’t do it because it was profitable. I did it because I believed in it, because this community still matters to me, and because I believe some things deserve to exist beyond their immediate financial return. But my time is not unlimited. I have a career, clients, projects, a family, and this year has also been marked by a loss in my family that made me reconsider certain priorities. I can’t spend my days posting, promoting, explaining what I’m doing, or constantly trying to convince people that my work has value. And frankly, I don’t think I should have to. I don’t believe an artist becomes less valuable simply because they’re less visible. I’ve always believed in controlling the number of works I release, in consistency, in scarcity, and above all, in longevity. I don’t want to create just to stay on someone’s timeline. I don’t want to release new pieces simply because the market expects me to. And I certainly don’t want my relationship with collectors to become a permanent exercise in seeking attention. I’ll continue creating when I have something genuine to express, appreciating those who have supported me, and moving forward at my own pace. I’m not leaving, but I’m also not going to pretend that everything is fine or that I need to participate in every conversation to prove I still belong here. Visibility is temporary, attention is temporary, and markets are temporary. What interests me is what remains when all of that disappears. That’s the artist I want to be, and that’s the body of work I want to leave behind.
