“It’s really a picture of me standing in front of the computer day by day,” Ghozali described the collection on OpenSea.

Yet during the sale a few NFT collectors piled in and it somehow became a meme. So far today, the collection has seen 194 ETH ($560,000) in sales. Ghozali Everyday even cracked thetop 40on OpenSea’s 24-hour trading volume rankings with a 72,000% gain in activity according to data from the NFT marketplace.

The cheapest NFT in the collection is on sale for 0.475 ETH ($1,500) as of the time of writing. With 933 NFTs in the collection, Ghozali Everyday’s floor is worth close to $1.4 million, a massive jump from the $3,000 the Indonesian made in the primary sale.

Originally, they could be claimed for free by anybody with an Ethereum wallet, but all 10,000 were quickly claimed. Now they must be purchased from someone via the marketplace that's also embedded in the blockchain.

The Moth Catcher
In this psychologically bed-headed portrait, a creature sets in a trance; his eyes devolved and vestigal, his third eye open but hardened and in a form resembling a Sharingan. The imagery therefore expresses an awareness existing in corporeal introspection. The creature’s mind sprouts, on the left side, an emerging face, grinning. To the right side of the head, red tentacles and fingers intertwine–a collaboration of invertebrate and vertebrate consciousness cooperatively handling paint brushes of the sort used to build an oil painting. The neck and throat bristle with random thorns, as from a rose or the upper portions of a beak sprouting from its flesh. The neck itself disassociates into layers of membranous material, terminating upon an abstracted base of convoluted forms composing its body. The nose is virtually non existent, more a sinus reiterative of the shape of the third eye. Set against the exposed teeth peering out of thick, meaty cheeks, a skeleton-like impression results. That impression sets behind a visceral set of lips and tongue, which is the creature’s prime seat of awareness. Sensual, organic, the tongue organ hangs, meaty, and with consciousness of a sea cucumber. It illuminates at the tip, drawing the attraction of a nearby moth–with mystery of purpose.
