THE UNDERHANDS WAS NEVER JUST A NFT PROJECT TO ME. For months, I poured my time, energy, thoughts, and a part of my soul into bringing Them to life. There were days when life became unbearably heavy. I faced personal losses, grief, war and moments when simply carrying on felt difficult. Even when I lost people dear to me, I didn't give up on this project. I kept creating. Not because it was easy. Not because I knew where it would lead. But because art has always been more than a career to me. It's my way of confronting suffering, questioning the world we live in, and giving form to things that are often too painful to express in words. They carries months of thought, struggle, and emotion. Beneath its disturbing imagery lies a world of questions about power, exploitation, control, and the systems that shape our lives. I didn't create it simply to sell NFTs. I created it because I had something to say, something I needed to bring into the world. I believe a project should be seen for what it represents, not only for what it sells. And whatever happens next, I know how much of myself I have put into this work. I didn't abandon it when life became painful. I kept building, even when I was breaking. That is what The Butchers means to me. And that is why it matters. 🖤

At what point does obedience become complicity? Power doesn't always need to act directly. Sometimes, it only needs hands willing to carry out its will. This is the territory The Underhands explores. Who holds the power? And who keeps it moving? 46/100 minted transient.xyz/mint/theunderh…
