Description
I woke up at 3am in a strange and tiny hotel, packed my backpack and camera, and wandered down alleys until I found a subway station with English writing. The air was salty, the room was cold, and the silver torpedos of cash-laden tuna were laid out in perfect rows, claimed minutes before in a language I didn’t understand and in a process I wasn’t part of it. But hours later we would meet again, connected in texture, fat, rice, and collective appreciation.

The body of Matt Lu’s work is inspired by pop culture, cross culture, and yogurt cultures, and thematically spans concepts of identity, assimilation, the absurd, and everything in-between. These are the first digital offerings of the artist as NFT.
