When I got to Marfa, I didn’t know what would inspire me most to create a new piece. I came with an open mind.
But what struck me the most wasn’t something I could see — it was something I felt.
Time moved differently here.
By the second day, everything began to slow down.
That shift made me realize something simple: This collection only exists because I was given time.
Time to be here. Time to explore. Time to create.
And time is the most beautiful gift one person can give to another.
@artblocks , @opensea — and above all, my family — gave me that gift.
That’s why this work is called “Gift of Time” — a tribute to that generosity.
Just as I felt time move differently here, the piece itself is shaped by time.
It evolves constantly — changing moment by moment, never repeating, always shifting.
It’s a visual expression of how we live through time: creating memories, building connections, collecting experiences.
It’s not static, because neither is time.
And neither are we.
