IKIGAI LABS 生

The house mark of Ikigai Labs, built as a turning solid by Dimitri Daniloff of the Genesis Art Collective. 生 is a picture of a plant coming up through soil, the first character of 生き甲斐, and the character read more ways than any other in Japanese. It also means raw. In Japanese raw and alive are the same word, because processing is what ends a thing, and a gallery that takes no cut and holds nothing leaves the work raw. The full text is inscribed on chain with the first token.
