    Description

    Both hydrangeas and lilies are beautiful and unique flowers, each with its own floral language and vegetative features. The hydrangea is native to Japan and other East Asian countries and shows its beautiful colors during the rainy season. In the language of flowers, hydrangea is described as "changeable," "shifting," and "modestly beautiful," all of which describe its variegated appearance. Hydrangeas are characterized as blue in acidic soil and pink in alkaline soil, and their variegated beauty is appreciated because of the way they show their expressions according to their environment. Lilies, on the other hand, are distributed throughout the world, and it is said that there are about 90 genera and 900 species. The language of flowers for lilies includes "purity," "nobility," and "elegance," and they are highly valued for their graceful appearance. Lilies are characterized by multiple flowers on a single stem, and the shape of the flower can vary from funnel-shaped to bell-shaped. In addition, lilies come in a variety of shades, including white, yellow, and pink, and the meaning of each color is reflected in the language of flowers. White lilies symbolize purity, while yellow lilies represent friendship and happiness. Both hydrangeas and lilies have different beauty and capture people's hearts through their language of flowers and vegetation. Hydrangeas are attractive for their varied beauty, and create a quintessential Japanese scene during the rainy season. Lilies, on the other hand, have an elegant and noble atmosphere and attract people with their diverse colors and flower forms. Both flowers continue to be loved for their beauty and features, and they enrich people's hearts in gardens, bouquets, and message cards using the language of 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.
