Arrotzaa – A New Visitor to Earth
Seeing the World Through Fresh Eyes
Meet Arrotzaa, an alien explorer and my creative companion in Dubai. Arrotzaa is new to Earth, and through his eyes, everything feels fresh, joyful, and full of wonder. From the smallest details of daily life to the vibrant experiences of city life, he discovers beauty in places we often overlook.
Arrotzaa’s journey isn’t just about exploration—he has big dreams of becoming a fashion model. With his unique alien charm and quirky perspective, he’s ready to redefine fashion and storytelling in his own extraordinary way.
I created Arrotzaa to remind myself (and others) to see the world differently—to experience life with curiosity, excitement, and joy, as if we’re seeing it for the first time.
Follow his adventures, stories, and fashion dreams on Instagram as he navigates this world in his own fun and surprising way.
RayNo Club – A Vision of Unity and Diversity
RayNo Club was a labor of passion and creativity, featuring a unique collection of 8,008 NFTs inspired by a futuristic rhino-ram hybrid species. This project was designed to convey a powerful message: promoting anti-racism, unity, and diversity. Each RayNo character was carefully crafted to represent a fusion of different cultures, embodying the beauty of togetherness in a divided world.
My Journey & Challenges
I dedicated countless hours to bring this project to life—from concept design to execution. Despite its artistic and meaningful foundation, promoting RayNo Club proved challenging. The costs associated with marketing and promotion for projects like this were prohibitively high, and at the time, I lacked the necessary budget to reach the right audience.
Reflection
RayNo Club was an ambitious project with a clear vision, but it missed the opportunity to thrive at the right moment. While it may not have achieved commercial success, it remains a testament to my creativity, hard work, and ability to execute a large-scale, meaningful project.
