Collectible Rare Antique Japanese Book Sculpture: A High-End Fusion of Modern Urban and Traditional Japanese Art | Story 02 Stories Series

Crafted in my Brooklyn studio, this artwork titled 'Story 02' is the second work in my new 'Stories' series—a deeply personal tribute to 19th-century Japanese culture and aesthetics. Each element, sourced from antique Japanese Woodblock books, is meticulously curated by me for its unique distress, fading, and markings.

As I began this work, a fan that was gifted to me by a very much appreciated vendor caught my eye and inspired the shape. A simple inspiration enriched by my learning that fans often represent life and also good luck Japanese culture.

Measuring 28" at its longest point and 52.5" at its widest, this sculpture holds a noticeable and joyful presence. It invites you into a space of contemplation and discovery. The 'Stories' series transcends the tales within these antique books to celebrate the intertwining narratives of urban existence and culture. Experience this journey through a piece that's more than art—it's a story waiting to be part of yours.
