the herbalist

"the herbalist" is a collection of 1/1 non-generative, hand-drawn NFT art. Each piece shows a portrait of a herbalist with their own spirit plant. The title is the plant name in my grandmother tongue. The feminine figure of the herbalist pays homage to our world creator according to my homeland's mythology: si Boru Deak Parujar, who escaped her father from the upper world. She jumped down to the empty middle world, design her own safe space and give birth to the first humans.
