First and foremost I am an Irish Artist. I work in watercolours painting animal portraits for clients all over Ireland. I am extremely interested in the concept and the reality of NFT's. The right to claim ownership of something you can not physically touch or hold but something that exists only in our minds as a memory or imagination is a true reflection of our modern society. Clear comparisons can thus be drawn between the right to have physically given up my virginity 16 years ago and the current right to claim ownership of my memory of the experience in 2021.
My diary not only gives an accurate account of the event itself but also describes my feelings and emotions concerning the loss of my childhood innocence; a detailed description of a rite of passage from childhood to adulthood through this landmark life experience.
Ownership of someone's virginity has always been a sought after commodity. By turning my diary entry into an NFT I am selling the ownership of my virginity to someone. Ownership is key, the memory of this intense, life changing experience will only be shared between myself and the purchaser. Selling my virginity as an NFT enables my experience to live forever in the digital age. The buyer will own a piece of my soul through this artwork.
My diary not only documents the experience but pays homage to a different time, a simpler time when pen and paper were one of the main forms of communication available. It was also a time of innocence, something that is all too fleeting in the modern world. My thoughts and feelings are laid bare in the script. Re-reading my diary brought me right back to that night as if it were yesterday. I found that partner, I became a woman and wrote about it. While exploring the concept I created this Instagram page
www.Instagram.com/007irishgirl which portrays how I now currently feel looking back on my youth now.
My art concept is to sell pictures of my diary entries. This will allow the reader to come back in time with me and fully share my experience. At the same time it will highlight how, in our ever evolving society, virginity is more than something that’s taken/given; it could also be a commodity whose ownership can be traded.
I have created this NFT and have entitled it “my virginity”. As I am very new to all this, I am a mailing a few online publishers just to see if they are interested in my concept?
