Desperate hands reach for burning currency as old systems crumble. Paper promises dissolve while something new flows directly between strangers, no intermediaries required. Trust becomes obsolete when truth lives in mathematics. As the creator observed: "The root problem with conventional currency is all the trust that's required to make it work." These hands grasp for freedom from the failing architecture of traditional exchange, seeking direct connection in a world where value moves without permission. The flames consume what was, making space for what could be: pure transfer without the weight of institutional gatekeepers.
Binary Code
Binary code uses only two symbols—0 and 1—to represent all information in digital systems. In these artworks, black and white squares replace traditional 0s and 1s, with each square representing one binary digit. To decode the hidden messages, collectors must first determine which color represents 0 and which represents 1, then translate the resulting binary sequence into text using standard binary-to-ASCII conversion.
