I am completely over the moon!!
Over the past weeks, I've watched Freedom To Ascend travel far beyond anything I imagined when I first created it.
Every vote, message, conversation, and show of support helped carry it forward.
As someone who spends much of her time in the mountains, I've always believed that the most meaningful summits are rarely reached alone. This feels no different.
To everyone who supported the piece, thank you for believing in the vision and helping bring it to this moment 🙏
We climb without permission!
We are the signal ✨
Wow, thank you so much!! This theme is incredibly personal to me, so I really wanted to take the time to share it with you in that way. I’ve taken thousands of aviation photographs over the years and meticulously curated 7 years of work into FLY, so seeing it resonate with you like this seriously made my day! 🫂
Also, you can call me Parra 🤗. I’m about to officially submit everything through the form now!

“Unstoppable” (1/1) is about believing in taking that first step, even when the climb feels impossible. This is a story about resilience. It’s not just any story, it’s mine, and every part of the art is intentional. 💃🏻
I grew up in Chicago, where skyscrapers became my mountains. Looking up at them always reminded me how overwhelming it can feel standing at the bottom of something bigger than you.
While I’ve photographed mountains around the world, this piece feels closest to my own experience of “the climb.”
The fear, the doubt, the what-ifs never fully disappear, and here you are scaling the skyscraper (mountain), holding on for dear life. It’s all shown through a shaky and blurred lens, mirroring exactly how it feels to take that leap of faith…you just take the first step, no matter how many times you’ve been there before.
Created in Procreate with 106 layers, blending my photography, IVF abstract paintings, digital collage work, and animation, looped at 6 frames per second. The sky itself began as an abstract painting created with sterile IVF needles instead of traditional paintbrushes. Turning pain into art therapy became part of my healing process after years of infertility, loss, and grief.
This piece represents what it feels like to stand at the bottom of something overwhelming, heartbroken and absolutely terrified, staring up at the climb ahead wondering how you’ll possibly make it to the top.
It’s about every version of me that keeps climbing toward my goals because deep down, I know in my heart I’m not ready to give up yet. Even after getting close to the top a few times, only to have life force me to start completely over from square one again.
Yet here I am still hopeful…
6 FPS captures the unsteadiness as she stumbles in her first steps, looking hesitant and terrified before finding her stride and becoming “Unstoppable”.
Mountains aren’t always landscapes. Sometimes they’re the battles we survive.

A little update on “Presence” 🤍
Since I started releasing OEs in Web3, I’ve traditionally priced them at either 0.01 ETH or 0.01111 ETH. The space has changed a lot over the years, and I’ve been thinking more about accessibility and meeting collectors where things are today.
I want “Presence” to remain something people can connect with and collect easily, so I’ve decided to lower the mint price to 0.00999 ETH while the edition remains open…
April showers bring May Mountains?!?! Yes indeed they do! It's time for our monthly art call and whether you are inspired by their majestic beauty, the metaphor of the climb, or the endless cycle of pushing that boulder up the hill...we want to see what mountains mean to YOU!
