The second NFT of the series, Embrace, presents a zoomed-in look at one of the visual microsystems that exist in the ecosystem of the cube from In Search Of. One of ThankYouX's signature cubes floats in a pool of water within one of the caves set to Zimmer’s score, representing a singular storyline within the larger winding narrative.
Accompanying the NFT Embrace is a physical painting made by ThankYouX in collaboration with Zimmer. This painting serves as a vessel for an inset Infinite Objects screen that displays Embrace. The components of this lot in turn demonstrate ThankYouX's passion for exploring the physical alongside the digital, juxtaposed in an attempt to unite the two worlds. This goal is further exemplified by the title of the work, Embrace, which signifies the traditional art world's embrace of the new medium of NFTs. "I can push the needle forward...I’ve gotten to marry my art to technology in a way that truly just explains who I am." —ThankYouX
