    Description

    Say Merry and it returns Christmas. Words cannot stand alone, waiting for the next word to be released. However, there are few words that have no connection to each other and have little to do with each other. The sequence of words "as beautiful as the chance meeting of a sewing machine and an umbrella on a dissecting table" is from Lautréamont's poem "The Song of Mardololle," in which he praises a beautiful English boy. It is a famous passage that is always quoted when explaining the concept of dépaysement in Surrealism. Dépaysement is a French word meaning "to place in a different environment," and has been used in literature and painting as a method of creating a strong impact on the viewer and creating dissimilarity by creating unexpected combinations that are detached from the everyday. The concept has been used in literature and paintings to create a strong impact on the viewer and generate dissimilarity by combining the unexpected with the usual context and associations of a person on an anatomical table. This technique is called "de Paisman. Many artists use such a method even in contemporary floral art that uses real flowers. This is because flowers are one of the materials that can easily create de Paisman depending on the context of the place where they are placed. Flowers bloom in the wild. Therefore, when flowers are picked and brought into the house, a kind of de Paisman occurs as "flowers placed in a different environment. Nature appears in the artificial space of the house. The person who arranges the flowers in the artificial space of a house must be aware of the amplitude of their appearance, the strength and weakness of their introduction, and how to reconcile them with the space inside the house. Humans and flowers are both creatures of the natural world. If the house is a man-made inorganic structure, the presence of flowers, which bring nature into the house, stimulates the primitive nature of human beings and brings them back to the awareness of their natural existence. Fresh flowers inside a house. Flowers on canvas on the wall of a house. When people see a flower, they recognize it as a flower. It is hard to deceive people who end up understanding flowers in the sense of "flowers. When the word "flower," "rose," or "lily" comes to mind, the image that is evoked by the word, the image of the memory of past viewing experiences, is floating in the brain. The brain is easily dominated and convinced by such concepts of flowers rather than the beauty of the flowers in front of it. The brain is not suspicious of the fact that it has seen a flower and not seen a flower. In the method of botanical photo composition, which expresses the beauty of flowers that can open a hole in everyday life, a number of flowers are composited so that the beauty of flowers stands out. The image of the flower is not limited to the concept of the flower or the image in the brain that comes to mind from the flower's proper name, but the image of the flower in front of the viewer's eyes, the details of the flower as reflected in the viewer's own eyeballs. By applying such depaissement, one can experience the true beauty of flowers. The more the beauty of the flower stands out, the more opportunities are created for people to be amazed and marvel at the beauty that the natural world has to offer. I composite the beauty of flowers, which is renewed day by day, in the hope that such an opportunity will arise. The gorgeous red flower composited in this work, the bokeh (scientific name: Chaenomeles speciosa), is a deciduous shrub in the bokeh genus of the rose family. Originating from mainland China, this plant was introduced to Japan between 794 and 1185. As the scientific name speciosa implies, it produces "beautiful" and "gorgeous" flowers. The flowering season is from January to May, signaling the arrival of spring. The white flower with a unique shape is the gloriosa (scientific name: Gloriosa superba). Native to tropical Asia and Africa, it is a member of the family Caninaceae and the genus Gloriosa. Flowering season is from June to August. Originally, it is difficult to combine fresh flowers in their most beautiful state because they bloom at different times. In addition, since the plants are from different geographical areas, it is almost impossible to combine them in daily flower arrangements. It is also rare to see a realistic arrangement or ikebana arrangement that combines these two flowers with different tastes, Japanese style and Western style. The differences in flowering season and native habitat are being overcome by modern innovations in distribution and cultivation techniques, but the size of these two composite flowers is arranged on a completely different scale from realism. In reality, the bokeh is much smaller, and the gloriosa appears larger than the bokeh. The botanical photo compositions, which do not attempt to capture realistic scale, emphasize the beauty of the flowers by deforming them. The bicolor red and white, traditionally used for celebratory occasions in Japan, stands out even more in this composition of two dissimilar flowers. The gloriosa, which looks like a white frilly ribbon, plays the role of a depaissement. The presence of the white frilly ribbon, which adds a touch of glamour to the first impression of "a work of red flowers," creates an attention that says, "What's that? The presence of the white frilled ribbon, which adds a touch of glamour to the first impression of "is it a work of red flowers? If you look closely at it, you can see that it is a white petal. At the same time, the blurred red flowers stand out more to the eye. Then the bright yellow anthers at the tips of the stamens also come into view. In this way, we encounter the beauty of the flower. Even without knowledge of the blooming season and native habitat, which only those who know the flowers well can possess, the striking red color highlighted by the white frilled ribbon is deeply etched in the eyes of the viewer through depaissement and deformation. This is a composition for the purpose of having the viewer look at the beauty of red and white flowers without thinking about them, rather than to be distracted by the knowledge of red flowers, bokeh, gloriosa, and other flowers.

  • About this artist

    Concept

    Botanical Photo Composition. That is how I describe my artwork. Over the course of my many years as a florist, I have learned both the Japanese aesthetic of flowers as an ikebana flower arranger and the Western aesthetic of flowers as a floral designer. However, I have long felt frustrated that the beauty of the flowers I see and display every day cannot be reproduced in real life, no matter which photographer I ask. To "arrange flowers" is to ask the flowers and intentionally place them, in other words, to composite them. I realized that unless the photographer can capture the imagination of the flower arranger in his or her mind, the beauty of the flower as I see it cannot be expressed. I decided to stop leaving the photographing to others, and to photograph each flower, leaf, and branch from the perspective and angle that I myself, a long-time flower artist and hanashokunin, had intended to use to arrange the flowers, so that they would appear as individual elements, but also in harmony with the other elements at the end. I decided to photograph each flower, leaf, and branch from a viewpoint and angle based on the intent of the work. In this way, the materials for digital ikebana were freed from the constraints of season and space, and became flowers dreaming of the time when they could be arranged. I cut out these flowers, curated them according to my imagination, combined them, composed them, and composited them onto a digital canvas to present the beauty of flowers that I have witnessed and discovered in the many encounters with flowers over the course of my half-life. In this sense, I am just one of the representatives and agents of the beauty that flowers reveal.
