CHIE Chapter 3: givHER by Tom Yoo

CHIE makes her highly anticipated return in “CHAPTER 3: givHER”!

ABOUT THE COLLECTION

Rooted in an unwavering sense of justice, Chie’s courage and strength are on full display in “CHAPTER 3: givHER”. Ultimately, it’s her compassion for those who are less fortunate that shines through as she puts the needs of others above her own (and even allowing space in her heart for grace and redemption for a bully who’s hurt others). I really wanted to show these parts of who Chie is so that we all can be reminded of what’s important this holiday season. This is also why I’ve chosen to show my gratitude to the loyal holders by offering a free mint of “CHAPTER 3: givHER” to those who own a set of both Chapter 1 & 2 (everyone else will pay $723 to purchase in the open edition).

If I can be honest, I’ve often given in to creating art that I felt was what people wanted to see and wanted to buy. But I’m tired of that now. I want to make art that gives all of you a genuine look into who I am as a person and what’s most important to me.

Introducing CHIE, my most personal and vulnerable work to date. It is the story of Chie, an Asian American girl who becomes the first woman to play in the NBA. The development of this character was led by my wife, Charlet Chung (whose Japanese name is Chie), since many of the challenges that Chie faces are based on Charlet’s real-life experiences. My responsibility was to then visually bring everything to life – it is through this collaborative process that CHIE was born. We hope that she will become part of a legacy that will inspire our daughter to believe that anything is possible.

Open edition for “CHAPTER 3: givHER” will begin on December 16th at 6:30pm ET for 3 hours.
Multiple purchases allowed per account.

One free edition of “CHAPTER 3: givHER” will be airdropped to all holders who own a set of both Chapter 1 & Chapter 2. Holders will receive 1 edition of Chapter 3 for every set of Chapter 1 & 2 that they own (example: if you own 2 sets of Chapter 1 & 2, you will receive 2 editions of Chapter 3). Both Chapter 1 & 2 must be in your Nifty Gateway account (or connected external wallet) for the snapshot this Friday, December 16th at 6:30pm ET to qualify.
