Cessation is a generative art project built from a custom health index. Each piece in the collection is bound to a partner piece through the power of recursive design. Carrying an inheritance of hue over multiple lifespans, this collection is in a constant state of change.

Partner pieces blend data across shared lifespans on their journey towards liberation. Built upon the belief that one returns multiple times in order to move toward something greater inside all of us — Cessation explores death, rebirth, and the beauty of process.

THE SYSTEM

health index — a normalized value derived from the metabolic panel and ECG. Scales with the intensity and energy of the piece.

visual output — a body map rendered in light. Each physiological measurement holds a place on the canvas, its hue and position driven by the data. Electrolyte beams layer across the canvas, each mapped to a specific lab marker. Their hue, tempo, and position shift with the data.

decay — the health data itself evolves over the lifetime of each piece through chronological drift and collection influence. The lifespan of each cycle is determined by the Bitcoin block hash — the mint block for the first lifespan, the cessation block for each rebirth.
