Pkok curated art

PKOK HYPERSUB AIRDROP #44

*Self Portrait*

Self Portrait is a curated journey into the multifaceted world of digital self-representation, featuring five distinct artists who each turn the gaze inward. In this curation, the outward image becomes a mirror for internal landscapes—emotional, symbolic, and ever-shifting. 

These works challenge the boundaries of identity, inviting viewers to witness how technology reshapes the self and how the self, in turn, reshapes the image.
