Why It Matters
Scale and scarcity converge here. At 120 cm on the long edge and only 50 impressions, Rise And Fall is a statement piece rather than a small-format collectible. The six-color separation on heavyweight Somerset gives the composition depth, and the low edition supports its standing as one of the duo's more collectible large works.
Collector Perspective
An edition of 50 at this size is meaningfully limited, and large-format prints carry framing and handling considerations that affect long-term condition. Collectors should prioritize impressions with clean margins and an intact deckled edge. The front signature, numbering, and stamp form the core authentication trail for this work.
Historical Context
The rise-and-fall theme fits Kai & Sunny's broader preoccupation with cycles, motion, and natural rhythm. Produced in 2020 on the same premium Somerset stock used across their editions, it reflects the duo's continued commitment to large-scale, hand-pulled screen printing.
