Forget Me Not

A Digital Record of a Life Interrupted

Forget Me Not is a digital artifact by multidisciplinary artist Lucky Star, released for Kwanza 2023 as a heart-felt tribute. It fixes one event in view: a toddler taken from family and the familiar, transported across the Atlantic, and forced into labor in what is now South Carolina. The piece holds that point in time in a format built for long-term continuity.

Minted on the Optimism blockchain via Manifold collection, Forget Me Not exists as a verifiable collectible with a clear on-chain record. Its presence is intended to venerate and remember in a time where deletion, fragmentation, or convenient forgetting is commonplace.

Lucky Star approaches this work as direct acknowledgment and a direct descendant, determined to bring truth to light. Lucky Star addresses their conversation to their ancestor and those unclaimed, preserved on-chain.

Available through Manifold, Forget Me Not functions as both artwork and archive. Each mint is an agreement that this record matters, that this child’s captivity and forced labor are not abstractions, and that in a digital field trained to scroll past and erase, this story remains fixed, named, and traceable.
