Hosoi · A thin line
Hosoi explores the thin line between what keeps the artist alive and what harms him. Addiction, losing sight of things and pushing people away sit alongside an unresolved question: is staying an act of selfishness, or an unwillingness to give up?
Hosoi sold for 0.5 BTC, Lemonhaze’s highest primary sale to date.
Hosoi and Eclosion were Lemonhaze’s first works using this technique of converting images to Base64. They preceded Untitled, his first parent-child collection, in 2023.
Paris · Here and elsewhere
The inscription opens with a quotation from Friendly Fires’ song Paris, followed by the artist’s own French note. Being present and absent at once becomes an apology to the person he loves. It is a short, direct expression of ambition, uncertainty and the hope of being understood.
Paris was included in OCM’s Digital Rosetta Stone.
One day we're gonna live in ParisFriendly Fires, “Paris” · quoted in the inscription
Je m'excuse d'etre la, mais pas la en meme temps. Je ne sais pas quoi faire d'autre, I want it so bad. J'espere que tu comprends, je t'aime. FNST
Deprivation · Original and prints
The original Deprivation belongs to Orphelinat. A separate Deprivation (Prints) collection carries the image into an edition, exploring a soul caught between passion and obsession, longing for light through sleepless nights.
