I Am Where You Aren’t
2025

For omentejovem, the concept of ‘desire’ underpins this work. I Am Where You Aren’t offers the collector a choice between two perspectives of the same piece, to be switched on-chain. Choosing between the mirrored versions, the artist wants you to explore the tension between longing for something and not having control over that, and being present somewhere whilst also wanting to be in another, distant place. Each carrying its own absence, omentejovem purposely shaped both sides, reflecting opposing yet connected positions.

About the collection

Stories on Circles is a 10-work collection by Brazilian artist omentejovem, first presented by SILK in Bali, May 2025.

Across the series, rounded forms and symbolic figures appear in intimate, colorful scenes. The circle returns throughout the collection as a structure for holding feeling: a shape that gathers bodies, gestures, memories, and moments of closeness.

Following the sold-out digital release, selected works from ‘Stories on Circles’ are now available as physical prints through Silk Store. Each print is drawn from the original collection, bringing omentejovem’s digital images into a material form made for sustained looking.

Each piece is available in two formats. Regular edition prints come as a limited edition of 3, signed and numbered by the artist and shipped rolled in a protective tube — ready for you to frame your own way. The artist's proofs (A.P.) are the collector's format: signed and numbered, and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
