About

In mathematics, you build formal definition from particular objects or phenomena. The square is the most simple tesselation, the perfect vessel for abstraction. Each square fragment of the painting isolates and contains its own local composition, with forms and squiggles. Rearranging these reveals persistent features from a global perspective.

Four cropped, close-up photos of the collages were passed through print.world's generative iteration process, introducing a new layer of abstraction and producing 100 distinct outputs. Each NFT is unique and varies in palette and form. All 100 are bound to a single token.
