STARS FOR MR. DIOR
 
This piece is a new addition to the Landmark series, capturing the Dior flagship store located at 23 E 57th St, New York, NY 10022. The inspiration comes from the 2023 holiday “Light Show” at Saks Fifth Avenue — a bronze Ferris wheel themed around the twelve zodiac animals, titled “DIOR Carousel of Dreams.”

In the composition, twelve zodiac constellations are arranged in a circular gear formation behind the Dior store, which stands as the focal point. Under the deep blue night sky of this sleepless city, the moon and sparkling stars illuminate the scene. Classic Dior motifs intertwine with flora and fauna, reflecting a serene and mysterious corner of urban life.

The lucky star featured in the work draws from Dior’s iconic star emblem, paying tribute to Mr. Dior’s fascination with divination and Christian Dior’s unwavering faith in his destined path.
