This art piece is inspired by the magical unicorn. Unicorns have represented life and joy in many different cultures over time. The Chinese, Greeks, Persians, and many others refer to similar creatures bearing a single horn and magical powers, though sometimes under a different name like Qilin (ιΊιΊ) the Chinese Unicorn. The unicorn represents purity, freedom, gentleness, virginity, innocence, divinity, and magic. Seeing unicorns in dreams is inevitably a sign of good luck, happiness, and a positive omen. Now unicorn has a new metaphorical meaning: it's a start-up valued at a minimum of one billion dollars.
The Unicorn is a term in the business world to indicate a privately held startup company valued at over $1 billion. The term was coined in 2013 by venture capitalist Aileen Lee, choosing the mythical animal to represent the statistical rarity of such successful ventures.

It makes the artistic content immutable digital collectibles, which can protect and help monetize digital creators' work.

NFT can change my life and other creatives like illustrators, animators, musicians, and even entertainers, to leverage digital collectibles to engage their community authentically, supplement their existing revenue streams, and truly become the makers of magic β¨π¦β¨.
