Nebula
Collaboration with Opus Art Collective
Special edition of 23
Each edition accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, hand-signed by the artist.
Nebula is a collaboration of Opus Art Collective and Xiaojing Yan to create an intimate Nebula for your own personal collection. In the spirit of Xiaojing’s large scale installation Nebula, of worlds and experiences colliding and collapsing, this piece has been created to share in the rebirth we are all experiencing, coming out from the cloud of the last two years into a burst of infinite possibilities.
