Worlds
Refresh page!
All I wanted to do with "Worlds" was to connect one universe with another.
I'm an unabashed fan of the idea of a multiverse. Somehow, in long periods of introspection, it has made good sense to me. However, because there is essentially zero evidence for the existence of multiple universes, either in existence now, or having existed "before" ours, the idea isn't (and shouldn't be) considered a serious scientific theory. In fact, most scientists today consider a multiverse to be as unfalsifiable/unverifiable as the concept of a god.
This doesn't stop me, of course, from making art inspired by it =)
This is not the first multiverse-inspired artwork I've done. In 2022, I completed my "Infiniverse" collection on AsyncArt (now sadly shut down) and "Worlds" is, in a way, simply a coded version of the same work. Another set of works using the idea, that I did in 2020/2021, is my "The First" collection.
The possibilities of creation (stories and art) using the multiple worlds concept are wonderfully endless and honestly, a little overwhelming. When absolutely anything is possible, trying to find and materialise a necessarily finite path can be exhausting, and one ends up getting nothing done.
Each "Worlds" piece has an Outer Universe with a Portal leading to an Inner World.

For now, this collection only exists in a state of potential. That is, unlike Eye-Am and Ars Fractalia, is has not been published on a blockchain yet, so no fixed parameters for individual pieces have yet been generated.
The reason I'm waiting to publish is because of how, sadly, prohibition.art shut down after only a year, leaving Eye-Am and Ars Fractalia a little stranded. (Of course, the minted pieces from those collections still exist on the ETH L2 chain, Arbitrum, but they no longer have a "home" on which to be displayed. I'll be resolving this soon, I hope.)
For now, please enjoy refreshing this page to discover what possible Worlds might one day exist.
