“In the beginning, there was only darkness. A formless and desolate void. From it, voice whispered: ‘Let there be light’.” Creation is the first art piece from Marso’s ‘Genesis Block’ collection wherein it tells the story of how the ‘blockchain’ came into fruition. Integrating the core concept of a disseminated network that comprises computer systems or blocks, Marso pulls the viewer of the artwork into a trance-like state by showing a captivating take on the birth of the digital era, a la ‘digital renaissance’. Through artwork shows the viewers how blockchains work by using geometrical shapes and the hand as a subject while giving it the eye candy treatment Marso is known for. A piece worthy of the phrase: ‘let there be light’.

“Let there be dry land, bountiful waters, and nurturing vegetation.” What comes after expansion and division? Progress and innovation. The third piece in the ‘Genesis Block’ collection by Marso highlights the idea of growth, creativity, and breaking out. Taking the symbolism of growth into upward arrows and vegetations, this piece gives off a sense of purpose and passion to the viewer with the main subject being a plant that blooms in the right kind of environment, a sentiment that can be seen throughout the various blockchain platforms and communities.

“Let there be a separation between the heavens.” The next piece in the ‘Genesis Block’ collection refers to the expansion and division of the blockchain, paving the way for distribution. Marso combines the imagery of the clouds, ocean waves, a road, and a star to bring to life her own interpretation of how the blockchain initially launched and where it is headed moving forward while doing it with flare.

“.. and the creation of two forces that will shepherd all that was, that is, and that will be.” The seventh and eighth piece of the ‘Genesis Block’ collection can be viewed as twins; two forces that are intertwined. Marso portrays this in the form of man and woman and mixes the subject with her own vibrant art style giving a fresh look at the core concept of Immersion and integration that goes hand-in-hand with user adaptation and experience.
