Nude Pixels began as a tongue-in-cheek response to a comment made online that turned into one of El-Moussa's most enduring formal ideas. A nod to the pixelated DNA of digital art culture, to CryptoPunks and the language of early crypto collectibles, the collection asks a deceptively simple question: what happens when you look closer? The answer: the less you see. Nude Pixels was the first work in a trilogy — followed by Nude Abstracts (2023) and Bodies of Color (2025)
