Masked Souls

About the Drop

The drop, 'Masked Souls,' is a collaborative work between the legendary crypto artist, Mr. Misang, and the renowned French digital artist, POLYGON1993. It commemorates Mr. Misang's first solo exhibition in Europe, focusing on the central theme of 'crowds,' a recurring motif in Mr. Misang's art. POLYGON1993 reinterprets this theme in his unique glitch style.

Through 'Masked Souls,' the once prominent crowds in Mr. Misang's world are reimagined by POLYGON1993, appearing hazy but now emanating a brilliant neon light, representing a new 'soul' within the artwork. The crowds within the artwork symbolize the digitized individuals in the digital environment. In contemporary society, information governs a significant portion of our lives, and data shapes our identities. In the digital world, this information acts as a person's identity.

This collaboration between Mr. Misang and POLYGON1993 holds deeper significance, as it marks Mr. Misang's return to the NFT space after his curated drop 'Masked Workers' in July 2021. Together, these two artists express a new identity for individuals existing as data in the digital world through 'Masked Souls.'
