2026 Dancing Katakana

In Dancing Katakana, these forms become independent for the first time. They resemble Japanese characters, not literally, but in the way they behave: as signs with their own rhythm, movement and meaning. The line begins to speak without words. What was once part of an image increasingly becomes a language.

In Love.Li, this development comes together. Within the Fam.Li, Yana.Li already existed under the alias Love.Li. At that time, she still had a recognisable outward form.

In Dancing Katakana - Love.Li, the name remains, but the outer form disappears. Only the lines within remain.

Not the appearance, but the character - what truly matters.

More about this development can be found in the artist’s book True Blue.
