Among Ando's later works, 'Waterview 2008-1' returns to water as landscape subject, the designation indicating it begins a series from that year. The etching with chine collé would approach a water view — possibly a pond, river, or coastal scene — through Ando's characteristic combination of precise linear description and soft aquatint tonal passages. By 2008, Ando's mastery of chine collé technique would allow nuanced integration of the tissue layer with the intaglio impression, creating a surface of considerable depth. The waterview as a sustained subject in Japanese art carries associations with meditation and reflection, concerns that align with Ando's meditative approach to the natural world.
