I built Anatomy of Love in layers, the way love has layers in a person. The skin is the heart you see, dark red, rippling like bedsheets. Under it, two hidden QR codes for anyone who looked past the surface, one in the pixels, one in ultraviolet ink at NFT Paris. Then the contract, the bones. The last layer is a love so deep you are not aware of it. For that one I read the contract's compiled code as a canvas and painted a heart into it, using my keyboard as a brush.
