Æ (XX–XXI) – “Ghost in the Shell: Neural Awakening” (Triptych X3) – Hand-painted, signed, numbered, and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity Æ’s monochrome triptych delves into the universe of Ghost in the Shell, portraying the Major as a sentient bridge between human intuition and machine logic. With intricate mezzotint textures and high-contrast linework, the series explores the fragile threshold where code becomes consciousness. Each panel reflects a different phase of awakening — from tactical precision to emotional emergence — capturing the poetic dissonance of cybernetic existence. The result is a meditation on identity, memory, and the quiet pulse of life within the digital void. •Total Size: 37 x 66 cm (each artwork: 37 x 22 cm). • Medium: Original ink-style compositions, hand-painted with spray paint and pastel crayons. • Signature & Edition: Each piece is hand-signed, hand-numbered, and authenticated with a holographic seal of authenticity on an included certificate card. • Materials: Acid-free Hahnemühle rice paper, traditionally used for Sumi-e (Japanese ink painting), ensuring exceptional archival quality. • Edition: Limited to 10 unique variations, authorized and registered with the artist’s official catalog ID.
