Young Americans
coming August, 2025
"They didn’t call ahead. They didn’t know what came next.
They packed their life into the back of a car, taped shut a box labeled “HOPE,” and drove toward the idea of a city."
Young Americans is a cinematic NFT series chronicling the quiet heroism of leaving home and moving to the big city. Told through eight surreal film-still moments, the collection captures the dreamlike, disjointed clarity of transition, when your whole life is reduced to boxes, car rides, and unfamiliar ceilings.
​
Rooted in realism but filtered through the poetic logic of memory, each scene draws from the emotional grammar of leaving: a parent’s last hug, a best friend’s laughter, the fluorescent glow of a gas station in Pennsylvania. Somewhere between a David Byrne lyric and a coming-of-age indie film, Young Americans doesn’t ask you to look back, but to remember how it felt to look forward.
