Elements of the Balay

An Element is a tangible building block of the Balay.

Digital artifacts made in collaboration with fellow advocates across the globe who align with our mission.

Each purchase is direct support for building this home.

You do not need to collect many Elements. One is enough.

But you're free to collect more of them as they come up 🦪

50 Elements is equal to 1 Big Seed.

Absolutely none of the Elements are AI-generated.

Each Element comes with its own set of Field Notes: explanations about the motif, histories behind it, and it's different design layers.

As this project grows, we realize that Balay's ecosystem can also be a cosmology, in the same way all living things are. We as humans are walking ecosystems held in a container, blessed with the ability to create entire universes in our minds.

It is even more powerful when we are able to translate these universes for others to see.

That is the miraculous work of an artist.

This is our response to a world that attempts to erase that.
