NFT Collection: “Am I Dear to You”?

“Am I Dear to You” is an NFT art collection created by Rafaela Costa. The collection aims to explore different social issues in hopes to bring awareness, as well as a healthy dose of encouragement, to the these issues affecting many in society. As an immigrant, and having English as a second language, the artist plays with the sound of the words “Deer” or “Dear”… Words that may sound the same, yet both holding very distinct and different metaphorical meanings. To further engage with this concept, Rafaela chose a “graffiti look” which is intended to remind us of the archetype of a rebel - the ones who dare to question and those who dare to express their true selves.
