In 'Still Life', Blooming Visions is animating textures, giving subtle breath to still image. "In this work, I capture a moment in the life of my pet cat. The idea of the piece was to explore the beauty of the stillness of cats as they contemplate their feline existence, sitting frozen in time while the world goes on around them"

“WEB3 IS BUILT IRL”

'Gated Eden' by Stijn Stragier. "The animals of the Garden of Eden used to run freely in our collective imagination, roaming vast fictional plains. Today, endless dopamine fueled scrolling is limiting our creativity. Set free your imagination and open the gate of Eden"

'Specimen "Rodent" by Yukari Yamino. "I found some strange creatures. They had beautiful appearances, as if they were manifestations of the human psyche. I wanted to admire such beautiful creatures for a long time, so I decided to take them home and preserve them as specimens. Of course, they were still alive. There is a sense of despair in creatures born into this world in deformed forms. It is both fascinating and unsettling to observe them squirm and suffer"

'Electric Sheep' by Fabiola Sangineto. "Electric Sheep is an artwork inspired by the sci-fi book “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?”, reflecting on what it means to be human, questioning about reality and dreams and blurring the lines between real and artificial. The artwork questions about who or what is the real human, the possibility that even inanimate objects can have a life and feel empathy, exploring our reality while walking in the lands of dream"

'Red Spider' by Caperucita. "Breathe, stop, don't move. Feel the warmth and protection of a half bite. Surrender to what is alive for a minute or two before disappearing or not. We are the mouth that devours, the last steps of a spider in a slow breath, we are" Motion by A. Salomón - kuchill0

'Thalassophile' by Samanta. "A thalassophile, someone who loves the sea, finds peace in the ocean's gentle embrace. The quiet and wildness of the coast create a perfect space for deep thinking, making it easy to forget everything else. Surrounded by nature's beauty and the connection with ocean life, the mind drifts freely, leaving daily worries behind. The endless horizon and serene solitude invite introspection, allowing a deep connection to oneself and the natural world, making everything else fade away"

'Cosijoeza, ally of the air and emperor of fire' by Cotama. "It is an allegorical interpretation of the ancient Zapotec emperor Cosijoeza. In his monkey form, he dominates the air and shifts through fire, being elusive and ever-changing, like an eternally living flame. An effigy that endures through all times, protecting the inhabitants of the endless mountains"

'The White Wolf, and the Girl' by Mochataro. "There was one girl who shared her life with the white wolf. She never stops believing that she is a wolf. Today and today she howls"

'Circus' by Anastasia

'Safari' by Flavio Acri. "During my trip in South Africa, I decided to stay in one of the few tented camp in the middle of the Kruger National Park. The camp was opened, without fences and you could only go out from your tent under the supervision of a ranger. Twice a day at 4 a.m. and 5 p.m. we were jumping in an open vehicle with a ranger for a Safari to watch the animals in their natural environment. It was one of the best, scariest and most adrenaline-filled experience of my life"

'Circus' by Anastasia. "When I think of the circus, only good memories from my childhood come to mind. I remember the excitement of seeing incredible creatures for the first time, the warmth of being surrounded by family, and the festive atmosphere. But as I grew older, those feelings were replaced by a bitter understanding of the truth behind most of these establishments and the mistreatment of animals. In this work, I wanted to reflect the emotions I felt in childhood and at the same time, in the same images, I wanted to reflect the opposite, what we see and feel as we grow up and understand what the world is"

'Cococó' by Tormius. "The rooster looks angry. Try not to bother him too much. You decide to provoke the rooster. Roll an Animal Handling check (DC 12). Your roll: 1. Critical Failure. The rooster attacks you viciously, screaming "cococó" as it strikes"

'Higher Animal' by Anna Dart. "In 'Higher Animal' from the 'PACIFICTION' series, the cat's presence is powerful and riveting. The AI-generated skeleton depicts bones with an utter level of detail. The gorgeous face of the woman in bliss shows an outstanding handling of the AI tools as if it were a watercolor. This couple is on a different level of existence"

'HAI Birds' by Roger Haus

'HAI Birds' by Roger Haus. "Debuting in 2023, "HAI" stormed the NFT scene, becoming the best-selling series across 10 countries and iconic locations like Times Square and Seattle Art Museum. At the heart of “HAI” is the AI Manga, that blends manga & other art styles through the use of AI. "HAI Birds" explores how AI gives freedom to create beyond any limits, akin to birds unfurling their wings"

'Gamabunta is based' by The Socal Trauma. "The majestic Frog had revealed itself to the deepest point of its heart. Being accompanied had never been so enveloping. When you need a shoulder to draw on, let the animal within you come out"
