10. “La Danza de la Libélula”, by @PolyCalumma
A beautiful musical score by @wildemannmusicnfts underpins La Danza de la Libélula by @PolyCalumma. Wonderfully animated, a chameleon inches its way along a branch, its reflection glimmering in the water below. The mesmerizing dance of the dragonfly hovering above it is not to be missed. From the accompanying poem:
“Carpe deim, we'll seize the day
And relish as it fades away
Enchanted in reflected light
Before our hopes fly out of sight
Carpe diem and watch the skies
For fluttering, swooping dragonflies
With wings of silver filigree
Divulge their magic symphony
Carpe diem, let's take the chance
Encircled by their joyful dance
These moments, though they soon depart
Will cast their spell inside your heart.”

3. “free horses”, by @erdemkayaArt
free horses by @erdemkayaArt is an arresting photograph of a herd of wild horses galloping across the water in rural Turkey. The energy and wildness captured in the image are magnified by the photographer’s masterful use of angles in composing the image.
From the artist’s description:
“These wild horses will be free forever in this shot… . I love horses since I was a child, I searched the wild herds of Kayseri, rural area of Turkey, with my camera. To These Images I fell in love; not only with horses and land, but also with living a more authentic life.”

1. “Prototype #1”, by @quetzalgelo
From the series I Am Robot, Prototype #1 by @quetzalgelo sports a great graphic vibe and a fresh spring palette. Illustrative details such as the big puffy coat and entwining buds and wires bring an organic sensibility and modern perspective that examine prevailing views of the humanity of cyborgs.
From the artist’s description:
“Prototype is a symbiosis of a human and a robot in the near future. Each of them experiences their own emotions, feelings and lives their lives in their own way.”
