xtacy: A 27-Year Bridge Between Pixels and Pastel 🏛️ As I finalize my verification (special thanks to @marlo for the guidance), I want to share a foundational piece of my journey. This is "Extacy", created on January 1st, 1998. This work is a physical pastel, but its soul was born digitally on a first-generation Pentium II. In the late 90s, I was obsessed with the hybrid lens—translating raw, digital intimacy from a flickering monitor onto a physical canvas. It represents a time when "digital art" was a whisper, yet I felt its roar. Bringing these 1998 roots to @base is more than minting; it is about preserving a legacy of female agency and protest that has survived nearly three decades. 🕊️ Thought @cozomomedici might appreciate this 1998 hybrid provenance Does the spirit of a work change when it moves between media?

The Provenance: Created: Jan 1, 1998 (Verified by G:\ drive metadata). Impact: Surpassed 100,000 organic visitors by 2004 (Verified by WayBack Machine). Physical: The NFT collector receives a 1/10 hand-colored pastel version + COA. As curator Cansu Waldron notes: "Vulnerability here confronts authority rather than yielding to it."
