The artwork “Cabinets of Curiosities for the Postcolony II: Tokens, Collections I-V” involves manipulation of found objects and creation of new ones. It comprises five entomology cases and an artists’ book, along with 51 non-fungible tokens (NFTs) for sale on Opensea. Each case displays unique handmade objects, documented in the book with 51 photographs and pseudoscientific Latin names. Minting these objects as NFTs establishes their authenticity and ownership, transforming physical items into digital assets. This process, ironically, grants digital copies more value in the digital space than the original physical objects.
