Work Summary & Collector Notes

Why It Matters
The silver stardust ink is a distinctive material choice that sets Flower apart within the duo's catalog, adding a reflective, textural quality no flat ink can match. Combined with a meter-square format and an edition of only 50, the metallic treatment gives this piece both scarcity and a unique in-person presence.
Collector Perspective
Metallic inks photograph poorly and reward in-person viewing, so the stardust finish is best assessed firsthand. At 50 impressions and 100 x 100 cm, this is a scarce large-format work where framing and surface care matter. Confirm signature and numbering, and inspect the metallic layer for consistency.
Historical Context
Floral imagery recurs in Kai & Sunny's nature-rooted practice and later in the 2021 OBEY Flower Diamond collaboration. This 2017 Flower predates that release and stands apart through its two-color black-and-silver-stardust treatment on heavyweight Somerset stock.
