Hello, World!

I’m Ka Mo (also known as Mo Hawagri and Muhammad Alhawagri).

✦ Free Speech is Supreme ✦

I’m a photographer.

I choose to work with film — slow, physical, imperfect. The camera is old and entirely mechanical. The work begins before the shutter ever sounds: with the choice of film, the quiet ritual of loading it, and the willingness to wait.

I do not chase perfection. I meet the world as it is, without forcing it to be otherwise. Each photograph is less a construction than an act of listening and surrender — shaped by care, not correction.

I choose to inscribe my photographs onto Bitcoin — not as spectacle, but as offering. This manifesto lives there as the first inscription. Every collection that follows is tethered to it — on-chain, uncensored, and immutable.

Perhaps humanity has found a way to preserve its digital artifacts. This impulse has taken form in what I call Onchain Humanism — an artistic response to our era. Born of Bitcoin’s architecture, it marks a shift. Artists are no longer submitting to systems — they are writing into time.

And so I continue.

This is my practice.
This is my memory.
This is my offering.
