20 Everyone Has Agreed to Agree That This Was Totally Unforeseeable.

Soft Collapse is a 1/1/75 post photography collection by Nomads & Vagabonds, their first Eth mint .

The term “Soft Collapse” was borrowed from architecture, describing gradual structural failure. Over time, it became shorthand for the slow‑motion breakdown of complex systems: economic, social, and existential.

This collection imagines suburbia from an indeterminate past slipping into drastic yet somehow unremarkable disruption, which most of its citizens have accepted with admirable, or questionable, composure.

Like the boiling frog, anything can become ordinary once you experience it enough. Using post‑photography combined with digital and AI mark‑making, these images explore the tension between obvious collapse and collective inertia.

When absurdity feels familiar, perhaps familiarity itself has become absurd.
