NAKEDXNATURE...
is an expressive extension of myself. As women we are taught to hate our bodies from the moment we're conceived. In the womb we absorb all the pressure & self shaming that our mothers experience, as well as all generations before them. Upon entering this planet little girls, teenagers, & young women take on unrealistic views of what they should look like to be pretty, what not to wear because they're being too sexy, what they need to do cuz they're not being sexy enough, as well as 30 billion other constraints placed on their existence. I reached a point where I was tired of being kept in a box of standards & other peoples opinions. Through stripping down to just my body I found immense freedom, I found self love, & (as cheesy as it sounds) I found myself.
This collection started as a creative outlet for me, made as an energyxchange for you, with the idea that we are all naked by nature.

We are paying for a storefront for locals from a neighboring village to have their bracelets, blankets, pottery, and other handmade goods in Lombok, Indonesia. This will be the starting impact for giving the @that1happything kids a place to hang out while allowing their families to build a sustainable business. We’ve been working alongside one of the kids mother who has been with us every step of the way since 2018. There's a lot in store but we like to under promise, over deliver so we'll layout what we have now.
- We raised enough money via our NFTs & NFT community to build out a shop.
- Shop cost for 1 year 30 million rupiah; $2,000usd
- The bones of the shop were there we just had to give it some love. A detailed list of where money was spent will be made public once the shop is complete.
- The kids, their family, and the community is excited. We've recieved sooo much support, ideas, and guidance. We aim to make this a creative hotpot to showcase the beautiful culture and arts of the local Sasak people.
"I have never considered myself a creative person or an artist. Though some may disagree and say surfing, skating and shaping surfboards is an art, I have never been savvy with a pencil.
When I found ai over a year ago, I was immediately hooked. I couldn't stop.
Through this I was able to create what my brain had been thinking through all these years, digging deeper and perfecting an aesthetic unique to me. Being latino I hardly see collections representing my culture. I wanted to take it a step further and create something where everyone felt represented and could see a little bit of themselves in every child created."
