Æ (XX-XXI) - Limited Collector’s Triptych – STAR WARS | Hand-painted on Japanese Paper

Æ (XX–XXI) – Limited Collector’s Triptych – Star Wars | Mezzotint-Inspired Inkwork on Japanese Paper – Signed with COA

“Star Wars – Snowfall Triptych” (2025) – A dramatic, high-contrast triptych reimagining three iconic figures from the Star Wars universe—C-3PO, Darth Vader, and a Snowtrooper—through the lens of eroded mezzotint engraving and classical Japanese matchbox illustration.

Set against a quiet winter landscape of falling snow and Sakura branches, each panel becomes a cinematic vignette where pop-culture icons meet the tranquil austerity of Edo-era printmaking. The grainy textures, velvety shadows, and mist-soft highlights evoke a sense of nostalgia, solitude, and mythic presence.

Each panel presents a character standing in a serene snow-covered scene, captured in a style that blends sumi-e minimalism with Ghibli-like atmosphere. The series is hand-finished with spray paint, dry-toner textures, and pastel crayon accents, giving every print its own subtle variations and tactile depth.

Critical Acclaim:
Thierry Fournier of Artnoises praised Æ’s work, describing it as:
“A transgression of borders, merging the DNA of civilization’s past and future. Æ creates a ticket for emotional teleportation—a minimalist aesthetic that propels us into a rich, timeless void filled with unexplored signs and symbols.”
