About This Print
Fractured Harmony is a 2025 screen print, 18 x 24 inches, on 80# cream Speckletone paper, signed and numbered in a first edition of 550 published by Obey Giant. The image features a mandala, a symbol of wholeness and harmony, that has been torn, with a female protagonist peering at the viewer from behind it. Fairey frames the torn mandala as one individual's sadness that mutual respect, and respect for the planet that sustains all living things, remains elusive amid selfishness and division. He argues that freedom and self-determination can coexist with respect for the planet and collective well-being, rejecting what he calls a false binary. Priced at $60.
