Desiring to give these ordinary dandelions a lighter, almost floating atmosphere, Asano envisions them thriving in an underwater landscape. This piece is also a reflection of her curiosity in archiving language; it was during this work that she first discovered the specific, powerful Japanese Kanji characters (蒲公英) used to write 'dandelion', transforming the visual and linguistic ordinary into something quietly precious.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003eThis re-imagined botanical scene is contained within one of Asano’s signature, irregular intaglio silhouettes. Within this gem-like form, delicate etched lines define a tangle of dandelions, their bright yellow blossoms contrasting with soft washes of watery blue and pale green watercolour that create the fluid environment. The seed heads and micro-flora are represented as mossy green and yellow textures, appearing to float with buoyant grace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eBecause of this hand-painted monotype process, the physical print is beautifully fragile. The sharp intaglio lines anchor the composition, whilst the washes of transparent watercolour give the piece a soft, luminous quality, meaning each individual print in the edition possesses its own unique tonal variations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ayaka Asano","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62762720395423,"sku":"AA026","price":1900.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0276\/8411\/files\/DandelionInTheWater_a8602a01-58cb-4c3a-84b5-d68ea0857d26.jpg?v=1775799041","url":"https:\/\/oddoneout.hk\/products\/dandelion-in-the-water","provider":"ODD ONE OUT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
