The distortion of reality in the NFT is Jacqueline’s means of expressing her thoughts on the current state of the digital world. A cryptocurrency is a virtual medium of exchange that exists only electronically. Its vigorous trading and mining in recent years imply an enormous amount of energy consumption and its impact on the environment is far-reaching. We can see that the greenness in the painting is circulated with swirls of black and red colour and is being placed on grids, symbolising cryptocurrency led to the pollution that we should all be cautious of. This contrast displayed the juxtaposition between the earth and climate change caused by humans, evoking reflection. Despite the turbulent environment surrounding the world of cryptocurrency, many potentials of cryptocurrency remain unexplored and undiscovered. She is hopeful about its sustainability and expresses her positivity through the use of colour.
