Since 2021, I’ve been roaming Cork’s streets with a camera in hand, chasing the details most people walk past without a second glance. It’s not New York—Cork is small, compact, and doesn’t try to be anything it’s not. But for its size, it’s ridiculously rich in texture, character, and a kind of urban poetry only found in forgotten corners and crumbling walls.

This summer, I went to China. Don’t get me wrong—I don’t like traveling. I don’t like airports, jetlag, or pretending to enjoy tourist traps. But sometimes you do it anyway. Sometimes you get on the damn plane because it’s what you’re supposed to do. And when I do travel, I treat it like a job. I’m there to collect.

Let’s talk about money—the glorified paper that controls our lives, yet serves no deeper purpose beyond keeping us tethered to this dusty rock of a planet. Money is a tool, they say. Sure. It’s also the most powerful leash humanity has ever slipped around its neck.

Creating abstract portrait collages is an incredibly therapeutic experience. By combining unique, textured scraps into human forms, collage opens up a deeply reflective process that grounds the artist in self-expression and observation. This approach provides both a structured method to follow and a creative freedom that invites self-discovery.

As Halloween’s mist rolls in, so do the spirits, seeking shelter in the familiar and forgotten. This haunted season, we ask: What if the objects we pass by held whispers of stories, souls, or shadows from another time?

I often ask myself, “Why do I create collage artworks?” It’s a deceptively simple question, yet, the answer runs deeper than I initially imagined. To truly understand it, I’d have to look back at my own past, my experiences, and the people who shaped my view of life. Before I ever picked up a pair of scissors or started gluing fragments of paper to canvas, I met people who had faced unimaginable hardships, yet somehow carried a strength that transcended their pain.

How did your background and experiences lead you to pursue a career in art? Was there a specific moment or influence that sparked your passion?

Ever since I was a child, I had a high interest in cinema. I don’t know exactly why, but I was fascinated by sound and moving images. The combination of sound and visual felt like magic to me, and I found the works of David Lynch, Quentin Tarantino and Stanley Kubrick to be some of my favorites. 

The question isn't just "How do I get into NFTs?" but rather, "Who are you?" If you’re a grifter looking to cash in with a quick profile picture (PFP) collection, you won’t find any secrets here. The formulas are out there, and the market has been flooded with those trying to make a fast buck. But if you’re an independent artist who genuinely wants to explore this space, I’ve got some thoughts to share. I’ve been here since 2021, and the journey has been anything but straightforward.
