Why It Matters
Seven colors is a generous separation for a mid-size square, giving the drift motif layered tonal depth. The 57 x 57 cm format is a recurring standard in the duo's catalog, making In The Drift a representative example of their core print language, backed by included authentication.
Collector Perspective
The edition of 100 is moderate and the format is highly collectible for its display-friendly size. Collectors should confirm registration quality across the seven layers and inspect the deckled edge. The signed, numbered, and stamped front plus authentication documentation provide a clear provenance trail.
Historical Context
The drift theme is central to Kai & Sunny's motion vocabulary and also appears in their 2019 skate-deck set. This print represents the wall-format expression of that motif, produced on the Somerset satin stock the duo favored for their square editions.
