“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 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.

“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 the sun, moon, and the stars to give light.” The fourth installment to the ‘Genesis Block’ collection by Marso showcases the idea of a bright future wherein the possibilities and probabilities are tangible and not far out of reach mirroring the hopes and dreams of every user who is part of any blockchain platform, may it be an investor, a developer, a researcher, etc.; you name it. Symbolized by a progressive and prosperous utopia, this piece communicates to the viewer that sense of a better tomorrow through the innovation and integration of the blockchain.

“.. blessing them to multiply and fill the waters and the sky with life.” The fifth art piece of Marso in her ‘Genesis Block’ collection presents her interpretation of the early adapters’ experience of glee, ecstasy, and pure bliss when it comes to seeing their dreams for the blockchain becoming a reality. With the sun, moon, blocks, and keys as symbols, Marso gives the viewers of the artwork an otherworldly experience through her mix of art style and visual storytelling as depicted in this piece.

“.. let there be of every species and race imaginable, for there is belongingness for everything.” With the sixth piece, Marso tackles the idea of ‘community’ or ‘ecosystem’.; a sense of kinship, a nurturing environment, and a strong social bond across all blockchain platforms and users. From developers to investors, there would always be a common denominator: connected. This is highly emphasized in the art piece through the use of symbols such as the valley, the trees, and the surrounding animals. Looking at the art piece, one would feel the sense of discovering a place that one would call home.

“.. 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.

“.. once every creation was complete, everything was put in a place.” The final piece for the “Genesis” collection by Marso triumphs the one place wherein all blockchain-related actions would build up to: Metaverse. As depicted in the art piece, it is a place wherein everyone and everything that is imaginable and thinkable will take place such as NFTs, Smart Contracts / Policy IDs, Cryptocurrency, Digital Culture, and the like. Rightfully placed in the center of the collection, Eden can be seen as the next goal for the trajectory of the blockchain force and all that follows. A culmination of all that came before, Eden shows the future of blockchain (if not the current state).
