The artist.

The ouroboros, an ancient symbol of a serpent devouring its own tail, embodies the eternal return: cycles without beginning or end, the infinite folding of time upon itself. OUROBLOCKS builds upon this idea, manifesting a generative system that loops endlessly, yet never repeats. A paradox of perpetual motion. A visual meditation on time’s elusive, recursive nature.


Phraze is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the value of time across canvas, code, and concrete. Whether expressed through vibrant murals, generative digital art, or traditional paintings, Phraze treats time not just as a theme, but as a medium. At the heart of every piece lies a recurring question: How are you spending yours?


Phraze continues to blur the lines between art, technology, and human experience - consistently redefining what art can be.


The OUROBLOCKS, an ancient symbol of a serpent devouring its own tail, embodies the eternal return: cycles without beginning or end, the infinite folding of time upon itself. OUROBLOCKS builds upon this idea, manifesting a generative system that loops endlessly, yet never repeats. A paradox of perpetual motion. A visual meditation on time’s elusive, recursive nature.


Born from just a handful of lines of code, OUROBLOCKS reveals stunning complexity through simplicity. Every frame is constructed from straight lines - yet curves seem to emerge. Patterns arise and dissolve. It suggests rhythm, but resists prediction. It feels familiar, yet is never the same. Time, visualized not as a line, but as a living loop.


Rendered entirely on-chain, OUROBLOCKS exists in the most enduring form digital art can take. It has been inscribed as an Ordinal on a rare Nakamoto Palindrome satoshi, an eternal timestamp in Bitcoin’s immutable ledger. As long as the chain endures, so too will this piece, a fragment of time, preserved forever.


Some works are built to last. Others are built to outlast you. We are but temporary shepherds for something that could last forever, a true perspective on time itself.


A print or digital display can be claimed directly from the artist.
