**Ambrosia 3** Number three of the three pieces we are posting for the @refraction X @lensprotocol fellowship. "Ambrosia 3" we mixed medium format captured photographic images with 3d elements used in the original design of the clothing, collaging it together beyond recognition, our model becoming fused into the clothing pieces themselves. An internal landscape of colour and texture, this piece was made in collaboration with artist Sam Rolfes. **Ambrosia 3 will be limited to 100 pieces.** Thank you for collecting ✨✨✨
Oh, I love this one! I think this is my favourite piece in the whole fellowship so far! 💜 Collected

**Desert Shards** Number two of the three pieces we are posting for the @refraction.lens X @lensprotocol fellowship. “Desert shards” was shot at the Trona Pinnacles in Death Valley, in the height of summer, the day time temperature exceeded 110+ degrees fahrenheit. While capturing images of mirrored portals the heat cracked them, creating “Desert Shards”. As the sunset, an other-worldly light gave the environment the surreal quality captured here. The desert is beautiful but with more than a hint of menace.
**Infinite Dress** Very excited for our @refraction.lens X @lensprotocol fellowship collection starting today! I chose pieces that explore our post-reality world using lens-based art. This is the first of three pieces i'll be posting in this series. For “Infinite Dress” I pushed the concept of the fashion image into hypnotic, abstract territory. Created with a mixture of medium format digital photography and 3d, I embraced the intoxicating energy and colour of creation. Thank you for collecting ✨✨✨

Those who’ve known my stance on the NFT craze know I was quite against the money grab it became. I held off in order to make sure the back end had a proper use case. Since going down the Web3 wormhole years ago, I’ve wanted to create an NFT that holds integrity in both, its artwork and its utility. In this case, all limited edition 50 collectors of the work will be able to use the NFT as an access pass for my next upcoming show of ::BLUE:: at NFT NYC and future events to come. Each collector of this piece will be later airdropped their own limited edition 1-of-1 numbered frame. Title: ::BLUE:: (Scene 4 - Flying Over Fukushima)
I'm super excited about the Refraction drop and how its been going - big kudos to the creators for doing it here on Lens amongst the community 💚 and super kudos to @bradorbradley.lens and @christina.lens for all the work to make it happen 💚💚 now its time to become a collectooor!

Sharing my first work on here "Cyborg Qilin" featuring the mythical Chinese unicorn chasing the pearl of wisdom through the virtual matrix. The Qilin is a hooved chimera first mentioned in The Classic of Poetry (11th-7th century BCE) and is said to appear with the imminent arrival or death of a great sage.

Hello! Happy to be part of the lens community 👋 I’m Dina, an artist and curator based in Los Angeles. As lead curator and founding artist at @Refraction DAO, I'm helping build a decentralized ecosystem for artists + culture enthusiasts (we throw some pretty fun events, too!) My visual art practice is called Setta. Me and my studio partner have always shared a love of art, technology and music. Our process is an experimental fusion of photography, motion and a rather balmy approach about how to apply software. Excited for what's next ✨
