Citizens Investigation, Black & White, 90cm

This exquisite black silk scarf draws inspiration from Ai Weiwei's celebrated Citizens Investigation papercut artwork, paying homage to the centuries-old Chinese tradition of papercutting. With origins spanning over 2,000 years, this art form tells stories, celebrates milestones, and adds beauty to everyday life.

This artwork not only memorializes the victims of the Sichuan earthquake but also underscores Ai Weiwei's unwavering dedication to human rights and transparency. Through Citizens' Investigation, Ai employs traditional Chinese papercutting to convey a powerful narrative of loss, resilience, and the pursuit of justice.

Crafted with intricate detail, this limited-edition piece is part of a series of only 2,500, blending heritage with contemporary artistry.

This piece has been meticulously mounted onto a three-part fabric backing, with a silk top layer. The scarf has been professionally pressed, invisibly hand-stitched and expertly framed.
