An ongoing series of ERC-1155 NFTs that expand the original artwork. Each extension is mintable only by burning 1 million Liquidity Layer tokens. The more these extensions are collected, the fewer Liquidity Layer tokens exist, accelerating the original artwork's self-destruction.

Copy Trade explores the intersection of art, finance, and culture through the lens of tokenized community. Inspired by the Liquidity Layer token, the work reflects on how copying, whether of trades or artworks, creates entirely new perspectives. Each iteration, each interpretation, accumulates into a layered collage, revealing a visual narrative that is both derivative and original. The natural paper tears of the iconic Mona Lisa prints echo the patterns of token charts, linking the technicalities of financial markets with the organic processes of artistic creation. Simultaneously, the work comments on the cultural forces that shape narratives through repetition, bootlegs, and reinterpretations. This culture is defined by the contributions of artists, communities, and marketplaces… where ideas are born, shared, and transformed. For me, both Liquidity Layer and collage-making are acts of dedication, requiring time, energy, and careful curation to build a new story from existing elements. Copy Trade invites viewers and holders alike to consider how we spend our time and attention, and to reflect on what we choose to trade it for.
