Information about the artwork:  Where digital disruption meets unapologetic luxury. This is more than an artwork, it's a crystallised revolution; Bitcoin isn’t just currency; it’s rebellion it's a rejection of broken systems and a bold vision of decentralised power.  I’ve attempted to capture these concepts in hand-embellished Swarovski crystals, cast in deep, mysterious Azure blue.  Blue is depth, truth, and elegance and like Bitcoin, it reflects the light of a new paradigm. Each facet catches not just light, but the future itself.  This piece is pure contrast where Code vs. crystal  / Digital vs. physical / Old money vs. crypto couture you’re not just looking at art ; you’re witnessing a new form of wealth.

Information about the artist: Sequin Kay grew up in South London, a vibrant multicultural hub that shaped her creativity and artistic voice. She studied Fine Art and Painting at Camberwell College of Arts (UAL) and Goldsmiths, University of London, before developing her signature reflective and embellished style across studios in London, Malta, Ibiza, Switzerland, and India.

Her work has been collected internationally. Sequin has led creative workshops at Soho House, Shoreditch House, and The Idler Academy, as well as community programs in Beirut, Goa, and Malta. She continues to design bespoke textile and Swarovski crystal artworks for private clients while developing new collections in Ibiza and London.

Of Moroccan and Irish descent, Sequin draws on themes of adornment, Egyptology, geometry, transpersonal psychology, and psychedelia. Her works layer research, ritual, and meditation, exploring light, reflection, and transformation. Reflective materials hold symbolic meaning in her practice, representing the divine and mirroring the inner world that guides her process.

Collaboration is central to her journey, including projects with geometer Stephen Meakin, architecture studio Hylemo, and audiovisual artist Paul Mortimore.

“The act of making art calms the chaos which shakes my soul. At a time of great planetary change, I humbly work piece by piece to create a more illuminated world. Art has the power to transform, inspire, and awaken us all to a more beautiful, wondrous way of being.” – Sequin Kay, 2024
