2nd in the Story Series is called Alter Ego and is about Transforming the Sexual Ethos.
This piece got deep and juicy for me! So I’m going to roll it out in 2 parts. Part 1- about the art nft. Part 2- about transforming the sexual ethos.
I tokenized Alter Ego today on Rarible, 12 editions for .33 eth each.
I set an unlockabke for a discount code, 70% off all art stickers and prints in my Etsy shop and the invitation to discuss using the image.

Here’s my interpretation of this piece, but like all stories is subjective to my perspectives, so please take what you want and leave the rest.
Pluto/ Scorpio influences transformation by addressing the most taboo subjects, the things we repress, our Shadow. To face these things I created an alter ego, away from the eyes of people I knew. I was able to explore things I couldn’t as my other self, like sexuality. I created a new identity and allowed the process of transformation to occur. These shifts don’t happen suddenly or all at once. The 2 sets of arms shows the process and ability to exist as multiple versions of the self. This particular image addresses our deepest sexual desires. It expresses foundational shifts in beliefs around relationships and how we connect both physically and intimately. The colorful dildo offers a feminine and creative element to masculinity. The torus at the root shows a movement in the area of our frameworks. Open legs, opening up sexually. The leaves signify resourcefulness and fun. The tears for the emotional rivers that guide us.
Elements:
Covering mouth (keeping a secret about the alter ego)
Leaves covering breasts (resourcefulness & fun)
2 sets of arms/hands (alter ego)
Tears (emotion)
Art Dildo (reimagining my relationships with men, applying creativity to sexuality)
Hands on Dildo (alter ego- PolyAnnie)
Sacred geometry (fundamental nature of reality. Invisible architectures)
Root (evolution in framework)
About the Series:
Everything I create is done spontaneously & intuitively. This allows me to reflect on the work afterwards and dig in to find what my and the collective unconscious is communicating.
This collection represents my artistic expression for the past two years. I created these pieces by layering, blending and editing multiple original photos. Repurposing my physical art and modeling photos. Reinventing my past work is an evolution for me as an artist and it allows me the chance to tell the story, highlighting how all the pieces weave together.
I’m releasing the series in 2 parts. The finished pieces on Rarible. https://app.rarible.com/polyannie/onsale
And elements of the pieces on the NFT Showroom as limited reproduction rights unlockable photo sets.

Everything I’m presenting was made by me almost entirely from my mobile device. Being able to work and create from mobile opens more possibilities and I hope inspires others with limited resources to do the same.
Eth earned from these pieces will be kept in crypto. I’m going to be exploring & experimenting with staking Hex, Dai and will continue to buy Hot.
Hive earned I’m keeping in hive to buy art, support others and continue onboarding efforts.
