I cannot be seen in shadows cast by giants— cannot be heard over praise for the worthy; so I close my eyes to the crowd, lower the mask, and in that quiet dark breathe softly, dream freely, until my voice is my own again. -Nuclear Samurai about the mask: I have used the mask featured in this work as my profile picture, my logo, my identity since the 18th of March 2023. For two years, yet i've never actually featured it in any minted work. This is the first work to feature this representation of me, but it will not be the last.
