B612 fig.1

Inspired by The Little Prince, YANG Chung-Ming named this piece B612, after the story's planet. He transforms flat paper prints into three-dimensional art resembling botanical specimens. Using printmaking principles and handmade paper techniques, Yang creates a rose from the Little Prince's asteroid B612, emerging directly from the pulp. Delicate entomological pins shape the flat rose into a beautiful, upright form inside a glass dome. The neatly arranged petals, with text visible only when illuminated, evoke fragments of an unspoken love poem—or perhaps a silent protest?
