Seal is a fully on-chain artwork exploring the relationship between ancient Sinosphere collector seals and blockchains.

One thousand years before blockchains, Sinosphere collectors inscribed their seals of provenance directly onto the front of artworks. Unlike Western traditions, where only the artist signs their work, these seals transformed artworks into living records of ownership. Unique to the East, ledger and artwork are bound together in shared materiality, a tradition that foreshadows blockchains by millennia.
