In 2020, Ferguson embarked on a series of 16 photos, later minted on the Ethereum blockchain as a 1/1 collection called *MUTED*. This minimalist project explores themes of isolation, mortality, and perception, encouraging introspection and emotional recharge. Referencing his colorblindness, Ferguson examines how individual perception shapes understanding, likening it to societal polarization and resistance to empathy.
Utilizing dried botanicals as metaphorical self-portraits, the collection draws from personal, symbolic references, offering a sense of aesthetic loneliness. Evoking 17th-century vanitas paintings, *MUTED* instead focuses on a single plant to represent the self, resonating with Ferguson’s confrontation of his health and mortality. Since its launch, the collection has sold over 7 ETH in volume. 1 reply
