“The Moon Is High” shows the character FOMO the Bag Holder having enough Bitcoins to finally buy a Lamborghini. FOMO the Bag Holder is our flawed hero and a recurring character in “The Game of Life” collection. This artwork depicts a high moon references the saying going to the moon for a project or coin that is growing in value that will be high as the moon. This also shows FOMO and the successful end of his journey. He is watched by the recurring characters the Apes, the Doge Dog, game pawns, and the 3 muses of Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt. All these characters are at the top of an undulating chessboard-pattered foundation. It is a celebration and critique of the optimism of the individual in the crypto space and life in general.
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.
“The Moon Is High” is part of “The Game of Life” collection that uses crypto symbolism and game pieces to illustrate the many roles played in life. Showing that we are not playing by the same rules as one another, and most of us are oblivious to this. Contrasting the games are the glowing and flying figures representing finding and living a life’s purpose. They glow from within and navigate life more aware and less distracted by the surrounding games.
