2024
About the Item
The artwork is print on silk and it is limited edition.
You posted signs, the news did spread,
The pet axolotl, from its tank, it fled.
Look to the ridge, above the town's bowers,
Is that our friend, amidst the towers?
Fragility, created for the Year of the Dragon (2024), unveils an enchanting tale of resilience and vulnerability. At its heart is the Axolotl—an ethereal, dragon-like guardian—protecting a floating world encased within a luminous bubble. Despite its delicate nature, this mystical creature embodies quiet strength, safeguarding an entire miniature realm suspended above icy waters.
The artwork immerses the viewer in a magical winter scene: a city with snow-laden rooftops, its tiny inhabitants engaged in their daily rhythms, all intricately detailed to celebrate the beauty of fleeting moments. The floating bubble, shimmering with ephemeral light, becomes a poignant metaphor for existence—fragile yet profoundly meaningful. Fragility is a captivating addition to collections that appreciate poetic storytelling, surreal dreamscapes, and the interplay between strength and transience.
