Fragments is a collection of 300 unique 1/1 works, each one standing alone yet quietly connected, like scattered pieces of a single life. The foundation of this collection comes directly from my personal journey—how I see life, what unfolds around me, and the moments I’ve had to live through, both visible and unspoken. Each piece represents a fragment of experience: emotions that couldn’t be fully explained, memories that linger without clear edges, and phases of life that shaped the way I think and feel today. Some works reflect calm and clarity, while others carry tension, uncertainty, or silence. Together, they form an honest record of growth, loss, resilience, and reflection. Rather than telling a linear story, Fragments exists as a mosaic of moments. Just like life, not everything connects neatly, yet every piece holds meaning. This collection invites the viewer to find their own interpretation within these fragments—to recognize parts of themselves, their past, or their emotions reflected back through mine.
Behind The Story Of " FRAGMENTS "
Fragments is a collection of 300 unique 1/1 works rooted deeply in my personal life—how I see the world, what has been happening around me, and everything I have been through. The idea came to me about a month ago, during a period when many parts of my life began to fall apart. Around that time, I had to pawn my laptop—the very tool I earned through three years of working as an artist—because of urgent needs within my family and my small business. I was carrying debts of over $1,500 USD from various lending platforms, taken in an attempt to survive the situation. Even then, it wasn’t enough. When I created this collection, those debts still existed. To be honest, Fragments was created as a way out of this struggle. It is both a record of hardship and a quiet hope for recovery. I truly hope this collection moves forward smoothly, so I can begin gathering the broken pieces of my life and put them back together again—just like fragments.
How The Collection Works
Although Fragments is a 1/1/300 collection, it is originally built from 75 core artworks, each divided into four parts. This creates four distinct sets (Part I–IV) that are meant to be collected and held together as a complete unit. Collectors who hold the full four-part set will receive exclusive monthly edition drops, available only to complete set holders. A snapshot will be taken one week before each edition drop to determine eligibility. This structure is designed to encourage long-term holding, sustain activity in the secondary market, and bring together collectors who are genuinely interested in completing and preserving the full Fragments set over time.
Physical Prints
In addition to the digital collection, physical prints will also be available. These will be offered in two ways: Free and Paid. As a milestone reward, five physical prints ( Unframed but signed ) will be given for free to random collectors once a specific mint milestone is reached. For collectors who want a physical piece by request, paid physical prints will be available. These will be framed and signed, with costs ranging from 0.1–0.2 ETH, primarily covering production and shipping. Final pricing and shipping details can always be discussed privately. This approach allows collectors to own a tangible part of Fragments, extending the story beyond the digital space.
Hidden Truth
Some of you may not know that, behind the scenes, I’ve been reaching out to many people—especially collectors—to find a way to release this collection. Before I was able to create all of this, I contacted people I knew, and even some I had never spoken to before, asking for support. Not as charity, but as funding or simple investment, so I could move forward. The funds I asked for were meant to help me get my laptop back, catch up on overdue debts, and survive until the collection could finally be released. Being an investor here meant a 50/50 split from the mint profits. And yes—it didn’t go well. Most of it didn’t work out. And that’s okay. To be honest, I feel deeply sorry for having to reach out in the first place. I know it can be uncomfortable—especially coming from a stranger asking about investment. Maybe I did sound a bit desperate. Maybe I was losing my mind. But if you were one of the people I reached out to, I want to sincerely apologize once again. I never intended to disturb you, deceive you, or cause any harm. I was simply trying to find a way to survive—and a way to keep making art. And if you still choose to collect this work after that, even if my message felt uncomfortable at the time, I am truly, genuinely thankful.
What's Next
This is a big move—maybe even a risky one. A big plan, I’d say. I’m fully aware that some collectors might not agree with it, and that’s okay. These are raw thoughts, not something perfectly calculated, but they come from a place of certainty. The idea is to revisit all of my previously minted works that allow image replacement and evolve them into a visual style closer to this collection. The reason is simple: I want to build a clear, recognizable identity. A brand. Something that makes people say, “Oh—this is his art. This is 0xMini.” I may still create art in the style I’ve been making before, but deep down, I don’t think it will sustain me in the long run. This direction feels necessary. It feels honest. And even though this thought is raw, I’m sure about it. If this collection goes the way I hope it does, I believe things will get better for my journey as an artist. It would give me the freedom to explore, to experiment—to try anything, truly anything. So if you see my vision when you choose to collect this work, thank you for believing in me. And even if you’re here simply because you love the visuals and don’t care about what comes next, I’m still deeply grateful.
Who's Actually 0xMinimalism
If you’re new here and discovering my work through this collection—welcome. I’m Mini. I’m 25 years old, based on the east side, and before becoming a full-time digital artist, I worked as an IT Support staff at a school. In 2023, I decided to fully commit to my path as an artist. My journey revolves around Minimalism, Realism, Abstract, and Mixed styles, but my background goes further than that. I’ve been involved in digital design for nearly 10 years, starting back in high school. Over that time, I’ve worked across many mediums—posters, apparel, photography, film, glitch art, sculpture, collage, AI, and more—everything except 3D/4D. I entered the space in December 2022, and early on, I looked up to artists like Grant, 0xDgb, and Dylan Wade. Their work pushed me to search for my own voice and story, while developing a style that felt true to me. The path hasn’t been smooth—there have been many ups and downs—but I managed to keep going. Until a few months ago, when things became especially difficult. Still, I’m here. Trying to get back up—again and again. If you’d like to know more about me or my work, I’m always open to a conversation.
