Chromatic Embrace by Wesam Swetat
Mints on Monday - 256 pieces in the set.
Price: 3 Tezos
Some wonderful abstract work to start us off. The color palettes for this project are fantastic.
Delve into the captivating world of 'Chromatic Embrace,' an abstract masterpiece that unfolds a symphony of emotions through a dynamic interplay of 5 to 10 colors. Within this canvas, feelings are laid bare, transcending the need for specific hues as the emotional journey takes center stage.
The artwork becomes a conduit for the raw essence of the human experience, a visual representation of the complex intermingling of sentiments that define our lives. The colors meld and flow, creating a dance of emotion that is both familiar and enigmatic. As you gaze upon 'Chromatic Embrace,' you're invited to explore the depth and breadth of your own emotional landscape.
Mints on Monday - 200 pieces in the set.
Price: 12 Tezos
Really love the look and feel of this one. Gives me a nostalgic feeling when looking at them. I’ve shot a lot of photos of trains over the years taking pics of graffiti. Long exposures blurring carts & paint together. This is really well done Chris.
Motion, Time, Light.

Price: 10 -> 5 -> 1 -> 0 Tezos

If you’ve been involved in the fx(hash) scene, you’ve probably seen the name obi around. He has amassed an amazing collection. I had no idea he was an artist as well. I really enjoyed the story that went along with this project. It adds a nice depth to it.
In a small, picturesque village nestled deep in the rolling hills, there lived a humble mason named Samuel. Samuel's hands were weathered from years of meticulously shaping stones into sturdy structures. His reputation as the village's finest mason was well-deserved, for every building he touched seemed to possess a touch of magic. One sunny morning, the village elders approached Samuel with a special request. They sought to erect a grand wall in the village square, a symbol of unity and prosperity. Samuel gladly accepted the challenge, and over the course of many months, he worked tirelessly, selecting the perfect stones, carving intricate designs, and patiently assembling the wall piece by piece.
As the day of the wall's unveiling arrived, the entire village gathered in anticipation. Samuel had indeed worked a masterpiece. The villagers marvelled at the wall's beauty and craftsmanship, and they knew that it would stand for generations, a testament to Samuel's unparalleled skill and the enduring power of masonry to transform raw stone into timeless works of art and utility. Samuel's legacy as the village's master mason was secured, and his story would be told and retold, passing on the art of masonry to the next generation.

This is a really cool animated params project. Love watching the outputs in this one. I’m thinking the price will change before mint. May want to follow them on twitter if you are interested. I have some still images of these, but watch the video below to get a real feel for the project.

A photon travels for 100000 years inside the Sun before reaching its surface.
Then it only takes 8 minutes to reach the Earth.
If time ceases to exist for those who travel at the speed of light,
how do they remember the journey ?
A short video I created showcasing the animation in this project.

Great selection. I really like every one of them, especially 'Chromatic Embrace'. I also wasn't following Obi, somehow. Fixed that. Lastly, I appreciate your video edit on 'Wavelength persistence', gorgeous. Thanks for the discoveries!
