I hope you’ve had a wonderful week. What are your plans for the final days of August?
I can’t believe September is almost here. This summer has flown by at an incredible pace - perhaps because here, on the Baltic coast, it never really had a chance to begin properly. We definitely didn’t get much of a real summer this year.
I’ve devoted the past few months, and especially the past few weeks, almost entirely to my work and the art I’ve been creating. After my birthday in September, I’m planning to take a little time to rest. I also hope there will be something worth celebrating.
If you read my last newsletter, you may already know what I’ve been working on lately. Apart from that, however, I needed those quiet evening hours to create a completely different kind of art 😊
I’d like to share two of my new artworks with you. I’ve released both of them as editions on objkt.com.
The Passion of Her
While creating this artwork, I was immersed in feelings of change and dissolution, along with biblical associations with the Way of the Cross. A long time ago, back in high school, I read Clarice Lispector’s The Passion According to G.H., and I found myself remembering these words:
“Every woman is the woman of all women, every man is the man of all men.”
I felt a deep connection to this narrative. Inspired by both the Passion of Christ and Clarice Lispector’s The Passion According to G.H., I created The Passion of Her.

The artwork was created in Procreate and Photoshop using digital mixed media, combining digital collage, ai-assisted elements, and my own painterly interventions.
The passing of time and the fleeting nature of moments are recurring themes in my works. Those who have been following me for a while know that I return to this story again and again, adding something new to it each time.
While creating this piece, I thought about generational change and how every generation experiences the passage of time in its own way. Young people don't know the times older generations long for. They have their own moments that will one day become memories, but their time to look back has yet to come.
When I said those words out loud, they sounded rather sad to me. I guess another year on Earth is beginning to take its toll 😉 As time passes, I find myself becoming increasingly nostalgic. Still, I found something positive in that thought too - perhaps new generations have better times ahead of them, and when those times pass, they may leave behind memories even more beautiful than ours.

My first drop on a larger scale, featuring more than 150 unique 1/1 artworks generated using my algorithm. The next issue of "Letters from Neural" will be fully devoted to this collection. LEGS is a collection of tiny stories, presented as algorithmic outputs. In the next issue of "Letters from Neural" I’ll share the entire story behind the collection: what drove me to this idea, its conceptual foundation, the process of its creation, and my artistic notes on the works.
I’ll also reveal the mint and price schedule, how to join the allowlist, and everything else you’ll need to know before the collection goes live. Coming next week!

Unfortunately, I cannot mint one myself right now, as it’s a bit beyond my current financial possibilities. But I can support this awesome collection by spreading the word and helping more people discover it 😊
That’s all for today
