Husband AI NFT series: Why?

on NFT Showroom: https://nftshowroom.com/stellabelle/gallery/stellabelle_husband-ai_husband-09

So I started a series of Husband AI NFT on @nftshowroom and I guess people might wonder why I did this.

On the bottom of each card are stats:

❤️ = Emotional Intelligence
🤧 = Physical Health
Brain = IQ
Money bag = Wealth (notice some have Bitcoin, some have USD bags)

Take a look around the art world. How many naked female bodies do you see? Nothing has really changed much in my opinion as far as women expressing themselves and their own desires... that is why I decided to created Husband NFT cards.....as a way to explore my own ideals about male attributes, sexuality, personality and also a way to express my own experiences with relationships in the past.....

I wanted to do this series as an experiment, as I will be creating artificial female equivalents of the Husband Ai cards to see which ones will be collected.

My suspicion is that most of the buyers of NFTs are male, just as in the traditional art world. I think that is why we still see female forms sell overwhelmingly more than male forms. It's because the buyers are male......that's my guess anyway.

This is a particularly weird and painful topic because I am kind of grossed out by the sexualized female form. I find it kind of disgusting.

This might have something to do with my past experience as a teen model, as I associate the commodification of womens bodies as a source of pain and anxiety in me from my own past. Being objectified was a big part of my own experience as a young teen, so it's like I'm pushed back into that every time I see a female body exploited for the sole purpose of satisifying the male gaze.

It is my guess that women are still not comfortable with expressing their own likes and dislikes as far as men are concerned. I think it is through years and years of conditioning that creates this sort of repression. This series also serves the purpose of suggesting to women to think of what makes a good husband....what attributes are desirable?

I am not an expert in this area, as I basically failed too many times with regard to choosing a mate. I gave up entirely several years ago, but my past experiences with different kinds of men are also the topic of this series. I dated all kinds of men, of all different races. My first serious boyfriend who was an artist still made the biggest impression on my mind.

With all this, it should be noted that I consider myself to be non-romantic, and even in my youth, I tended to live alone, with most of my time being solitary. Solitary existence was a natural way for me, and my romantic relationships were kind of blips in a life of solitude. This tendency on my part to be solitary has only increased with age, and I have to come to accept it as my natural path. It no longer bothers me that I am solitary, and as odd as it sounds, I find myself enjoying this lifestyle. Relationships are messy, and to be honest, I was never really very good at them at any time in my life. Dealing with emotions is really hard.

This all might seem strange to people who are coupled up, but for me, being in a couple always seemed strange to me.

I am not sure where this is all going but I enjoy creating artistic experiments that are not part of any predefined trend. And I think I needed a way to express my ideal physical male form.

I have an idea of hiding extra surprises in these NFTs, so let's see if that happens!

Here's the entire collection of Husband AIs so far. I imagine that they will get more absurd over time:
