**The Secret Artist #5 — Bird and Mind** When I asked Secret Artist #5 about this piece they said that the idea was that the birds represented negative thoughts being trapped in their mind. By opening the cage, the thoughts are being let go. What I love about this analogy is that it puts the responsibility on us. We are the ones trapping the birds inside the cage, just as we are the ones who expend energy continually summoning these negative thoughts into our present. With the cage open, it’s possible for negative thoughts to fly back in, but unless you choose to trap them and force them to take up space inside, these thoughts can fly back out again, leaving the cage and our minds empty once more. Bird and Mind is a unique 1/1 piece from **The Secret Artist Project** *** **The Secret Artist Project** A new art world inspired by NFTs opens up creative opportunities for artists and curators. The Secret Artist Project approaches innovative artists from inside and outside of the NFT community for a piece of work that has yet to be minted and adds it anonymously to our collection. This puts the focus on *the art* and not *the artist*. If someone likes the art, they can buy it. Simple. The Secret Artist Project has no Discord, no Telegram, no overambitious roadmap. However, there is one very special extra you receive with your NFT from The Secret Artist Project, and that is... **The Artist** While their identity remains a mystery to everyone else, the artist's details will be revealed to you after purchasing the NFT — as if you've discovered their signature scrawled on the back of their painting. So now you not only have the art to display/hang in your little corner of the Metaverse, you also have the opportunity to discover more of the artist’s work. In addition, by holding the NFT and keeping its secrets, you become part of The Secret Artist Project community. Those who hold secrets, hold power. Who knows, there may even be future incentives for such holders... **The Secret Art Project Aims** Positively impact the artist by putting their art first Introduce new artists to the NFT space (though we reserve the right to include a well-known artist too!) Feature only art we love and collaborate only with artists we trust (i.e. no nasty surprises) *** — The Merchant of Venus, Curator of The Secret Art Project If you have any questions, or if you’re an artist who would like to feature your artwork in the project, please go to The Secret Artist Project collection’s Opensea page for contact details/socials https://opensea.io/collection/the-secret-artist-project
