Why It Matters
As the Flower variant of Tipping Point, this six-colour print elevates the imagery with an added floral element and richer layering than the base Tipping Point. The edition of 28 makes it notably scarcer than the standard version, positioning it as a more collectible state of the same design.
Collector Perspective
An edition of 28 makes this a scarce variant, likely to interest collectors who want the more elaborate version of Tipping Point. The heavy 410gsm stock and front stamp are standard studio finish. Confirm signature (bottom left) and stamp (bottom right). Its title connects to environmental "tipping point" language, giving it thematic resonance.
Historical Context
Tipping Point - Flower reworks the 2023 Tipping Point image within the studio's 2024 output. The "tipping point" title echoes climate and ecological discourse—central to Kai & Sunny's environmentally engaged practice—while the floral motif ties it to the duo's broader nature vocabulary.
