Title

「Die lang ersehnte Frühlingsblumen(de). Eagerly awaited many Spring flowers(en)」

Thoughts put into the work

We designed and painted a large bouquet in the hope that everyone who came to the exhibition would feel the warmth and joy of spring.

• About the we designed flowers
  • ★Casablanca
    • Flower language: noble
    • The Casablanca, also known as the queen of lilies, is the centerpiece of the overall point, surrounded by a variety of flower colors and gorgeously designed.
  • ★Tulip
    • Flower language: go ahead
    • Spring is the season when many people move forward to the next step, such as graduation or promotion to the next grade in Japan, and I have tried to show the progress toward the next flower by directing the flow toward the cherry blossoms.
    • In Japan, the idiom "sakura saku" (cherry blossoms in bloom) is sometimes used as a inform the recipient that he/she has passed an examination.
  • ★Freesia
    • Flower language: innocent
    • The upward advancing freesia is represented in the same color as the base color, pink, so that the design overlaps with spring in meaning.
  • ★Daffodil
    • Flower language: thoughtfulness
    • The daffodil is an essential early spring flower. We have incorporated them in our new place so that we do not forget to be mindful of them.
  • ★Cyclamen
    • Flower language: bond
    • Since spring is include the day of the earthquake and tsunami disaster in Tohoku (2011/03/11), I wanted to include cyclamen, which have the word "kizuna (bond)" in flower language of flowers, in this flowering bouquet.

About the motif

• ★Lace ribbon

  • Lace ribbon, which serves to bind the flowers together, was using to give the bouquet some movement.

• ★Cutout of Heart Shape

  • The canvas is superimposed on the human body and the heart is hollowed out to form a heart. I drew a spiral pattern and flowers on the organdie fabric to express the excitement of waiting for spring and the unity with the lace ribbon.

• ★Four corners of a frame

  • The ivory laces with at the four corners were designed to complement the main star of the flower bouquet.

• In the end

  • The cold winter is a time for both people and flowers to save their power, and because Japan has four seasons, the arrival of spring is a joy in itself. In this painting, I have depicted flowers, which can accompany any scene, as the main characters.
  • I hope you can feel such a source of energy.
