SHARI, a crypto art project by Japanese pioneer Mera Takeru, is nearing completion after 4 years of development. The project's name carries dual meanings in Japanese:
- Cooked white rice
- Remains of Buddha
Key features:
- Flashing skull imagery
- Symbolizes the cycle of life and death
- Represents digital permanence through binary (0 and 1)
This innovative work blends traditional Japanese concepts with modern digital art, exploring themes of impermanence and eternity in the crypto space.
