Cryptography has been around for thousands of years to hide secret messages. In modern times, we still have the need to transmit cryptographic truths around identity, peace and justice.
This work is an expression of angst and power. She is a symbol of resistance against oppressive forces. Written in Farsi, the radiating disk is inscribed with a chant, “No Justice No Peace, No Racist Police”.

The 3D asset crafted for this rendering entitled "Cryptographic Power" is minted separately as an augmented reality NFT. It's placed in the world at a special GPS location in Austin, TX. There’s a hidden message within her that can only be discovered when viewing in AR on The.Illust.Space platform. The mural that she stands in front of entitled “If He Can't Breathe, We Can't Breathe” was painted by local Austin legend Chris Rogers and dedicated to George Floyd and many other victims of police brutality.
