“Monkey Sea, Monkey Blue” has FOMO the Bag Holder, our flawed hero and a recurring character in “The Game of Life” collection, trying to buy a blue ape from a large ape NFT project. “Monkey Sea, Monkey Blue” is inspired by the popularity of collections of unique digital collectible NFT avatars. They’re enjoyed by many people who are using them as profile photos and communities of loyal owners developed around them. This artwork plays with the duality of this phenomenon, the individual being unique and the community being a tribe, a oneness en masse.

FOMO: An acronym for Fear Of Missing Out describes our character’s motivation. This term can relate to when investors fear they are missing out on a good opportunity, usually when a certain cryptocurrency has largely increased in price. The FOMO mindset would suggest that the price will continue to increase, so get in while you can so you don’t miss it. So our character is on a journey of chasing wealth.
Our character FOMO is also a Bag Holder: A bag holder is someone who holds a sizable amount of a certain investment that has lost value over time. They continue to hold their bag in the hopes that the price will appreciate.
