Red Hong Yi. A little pixelated girl with a pixelated mountain in the background looks excitedly into the future as she is given the option to begin her adventure with either FIAT MONEY or CRYPTO. This little girl is from Borneo, and the mountain in the background is Mount Kinabalu, the highest mountain in Borneo. Lush forests surround the mountain, and the land is rich and healthy. The banknote in the centre reflects a changing perception of currencies and their role in our time. This banknote is issued by Memebank, a parody central bank that pokes fun at fiat currencies with crypto meme culture. Hidden in this banknote are “easter eggs” such as morse codes, a very pixelated “decentralised” text, and even smaller pixelated icons. I hope we will build a better future so that little girls will be empowered to choose their own adventures in a world that celebrates nature, technology, and the human race. Kenji Chai. This artwork reflects the hope I have for a post-pandemic world. While humans have had to retreat indoors and lives have been lost, wildlife has roamed more freely and nature has been given a reset button. It is my hope that this experience will lead us to reflect and care about nature more. Chaigo, the blue dog in the artwork, is an alter-ego of mine. Chaigo is a stray dog who has had to defend himself to stay alive, but he is an eternal optimist who will use his artistic gifts to bring hope to everyone.
