About the work
The work is inspired by Japanese visual culture, in which ornament, nature and emptiness exist in delicate balance. The blossoming motif refers to the tradition of sakura — an image of fleeting beauty and vulnerability, where every element is at once decorative and symbolic.
The surface has been deliberately broken and reassembled: fractures, shifts and fragments form a structure close to the aesthetics of kintsugi — a practice in which damage is not hidden but becomes part of a new form.
A piece of driftwood included in the composition introduces an element of natural chance and time. Its shape does not obey the ornament but exists in its own logic, entering into a tense dialogue with the ordered surface. It becomes a continuation of the fracture line — an organic “seam” linking the image to reality.
The work explores the intersection of culture and nature, where the decorative and the living, the controlled and the spontaneous join in a single structure, turning the tear into a space of interaction and memory.
