The Origins: Genesis project is a fundraiser to launch Expressions, a community-driven creativity platform and social marketplace for digital and physical goods. Origins will showcase works by creatives in underrepresented communities around the world. 100% of the proceeds go to the artists and nonprofits. Our Genesis collection showcases hundreds of handmade digital works (no AI or generative art) by top artists in the Caribbean. For the projects roadmap: https://ambr.live

Origins: Genesis

Hibiscus, known as choeblack or rose kayenn in Haitian Creole, is Haiti's national flower. The fragrant hibiscus attracts hummingbirds and butterflies, and apart from being beautiful, the hibiscus also has medicinal properties and culinary applications. Some cocktails and teas served in Haiti include choeblack in their recipes.
