Work Summary & Collector Notes
Migration East (2011) is a Kai & Sunny screen print in an edition of 125, released to accompany the Ghost of Gone Birds exhibition.

Collector notes: The saved release record describes: Signed and Numbered limited edition of 125. The saved release record describes: signed; numbered. Verify each feature against a documented example of this edition.
Why It Matters
This print carries genuine cause provenance: Ghost of Gone Birds was dedicated to artistically memorialising extinct bird species. That gives Migration East a documented charitable and thematic context rare among the duo's editions, tying their ornithological line-work directly to conservation.
Collector Perspective
With an edition of 125 and a smaller format, this is one of the more attainable Kai & Sunny works, and its link to a named conservation exhibition adds a layer of provenance collectors value. Verify any exhibition documentation and the numbering, and note that smaller sheets are easier to store and frame than the duo's large formats.
Historical Context
Ghost of Gone Birds was a multi-artist project raising awareness of avian extinction, and Kai & Sunny's contribution placed their bird-flight motif within an overtly ecological frame. The 2011 date sits at the heart of the duo's most prolific migration-and-nature period.
