Inside @momas_highsociety at @herbwell.ny, just minutes from MoMA and tucked into Madison Ave’s historic art corridor, something big unfolded.

>>>> DISCOVER FULL STORY W. LINK IN BIO 🌐

Floor by floor, hundreds of artists, collectors, streamers, and cultural workers gathered for a living ecosystem centered on evolution, rebirth, and change. 
Over 20 international digital artists exhibited alongside rising NYC-based contemporary creators — a dialogue between screen + canvas, projection + pigment, algorithm + intuition. The digital curation by @joshsauceda examined identity, memory, technology, and metamorphosis — proving new media isn’t a trend, it’s a language. 
Live sets by @lacedwithmars, @judahamar, and @jadynviolet transformed the exhibition into a multi-sensory ritual. DJ Reese set the tone early, and @killgxxd carried the energy into late night as conversations around acquisitions, collaborations, and culture pulsed through every floor. 
This wasn’t about replacing tradition — it was about expanding it.
 A convergence of disciplines. A digital-native generation claiming physical space. A new renaissance in real time.

Movements begin in rooms like this. The New Renaissance Part ll unfolds on March 21, 2026.

I’m grateful for the people who trusted me, collaborated with me, challenged me, and stayed. The last 365 days have been equally as challenging as it has been giving, navigating instability yet continuing to create - learning resilience the hard way.   From investing time into building spaces where artists met collaborators and not just audiences to delivering a speech for @scholastic in front of a full auditorium. I began understanding that sustainability is a creative skill. My conscious has picked up on when not to push — and what work to sit with longer. I published stories. A lot of them — and learned from my peers.

I’ve lived inside image libraries, timelines and render queues, shooting music videos, event highlights and promotional work. I have wept tears of grace and defeat. I even wrote more honestly. Started a newsletter not knowing who would read it — 2,000 of you did. That still surprises me.

I have witnessed my ambition flicker into confidence.

2025 highlights — documented for myself as much as anyone else:

• Addressed the next generation of creative talent with a speech for Scholastic @artandwriting, speaking in front of a packed Clifford Auditorium at their SoHo headquarters. Returned as a juror and was hired to photograph regional events. 
• Published 30+ online artist features for @archiv3xyz — the publication is a loaded gun for 2026. 
• Curated 6 digital art exhibitions and social events across NYC, activating spaces like @posh.vip, @madamexnyc, @satelliteartshow, Sound and Mind Center in Dumbo, and @scottbleustudios — representing 100+ artists this year alone. 
• Shot a catalogue of music videos with artists like @jadynviolet, @judahamar, @rashid.isaiah, @kaso_greene_lbe, @officialtinkaag. 
• Began sharing more intimate moments of my life through cinematography and writing — letting the work feel closer, not just cleaner. 
• Launched a personal newsletter that grew to 2,000+ subscribers within its first six months. 
• Learned a lot about mental health, relationships, business development, pain, love, and growth — the kind you don’t get from wins alone. 
• Trained Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai @chopandchopsmma — and eager to continue MMA.

Some nights I watch things fade
and try not to hold them too hard.

I’m learning how to touch without keeping, how to create without needing.

Sharing pieces of myself —
with art, lovers, flames, friends.

With whoever listens long enough.

Finding intimacy in shared smoke, soft laughter, the quiet of my own company.

In the liminal space between focus and fatigue.

I’m thinking about the stories I want to tell, the mediums I want to live through.

I’m overflowing again, and it feels like grace.

I can’t tell if it’s healing or haunting, but it’s beautiful either way.

This city doesn’t consume me like it use to.

I’ve heard that the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh.

They were right.

Some nights I watch things fade
and try not to hold them too hard.

A little over a month ago, ARCHIV3 celebrated its one-year anniversary in the heart of SoHo at @posh.vip HQ, marking a monumental moment for the publication and community.

What began as an experimental platform exploring art, music, culture, and technology has evolved into a full creative ecosystem—one that continues to unify multidisciplinary artists, producers, curators, and collectors under one roof.

The anniversary was a convergence of visionaries. The event welcomed contemporary painters, digital creators, musicians, art collectors, and more into one shared space. Together, they created an atmosphere charged with collaboration, vulnerability, and genuine connection.

Performances by @lunathelovegod, @ma9icwiththe9, and @meechyorg electrified the crowd, while our resident DJ, @killgxxd returned to deliver a transcendent set that seamlessly managed the soundscape of the night. It was a sonic reflection of ARCHIV3’s mission—to give creative freedom a stage.

With this launch, ARCHIV3 officially completes its physical magazine cycle—four collectible editions that capture the evolution of the community. As ARCHIV3 transitions toward a digital-first future, we carry forward the tactile legacy of these printed moments, always honoring the foundation that built us.

ARCHIV3 Issue 4 celebrates:

@alyssastevenssss, @dorfmandance, @earlfromyonder, @anikkhan_, @bigwillietoyou, @freakisslin, @lovebyloona, @oliver13h, @aneesajulmice, @slumpedizaa, @mumbot, & @shawnbullenidc.

Partners: @posh.vip, @projectnewm.io, @tbd.products, & @bleucalf.

Hosts: @nikvrsi, @bleupablo, @joshsauceda.

Great convo with @archiv3xyz featured artist @hvnestt 😂🙏🏽💯 as he helped me wrap up a piece that sold during @joshsauceda’s “Culture is a Melting Pot” digital exhibition at @scottbleustudios.

Great to see both worlds come together like that.
