"I have admired Georgia O’Keeffe’s life and work since I was in growing up in Japan. She gazed at her beloved things, especially flowers and her flowers gaze back at us. I wanted to imagine my version of flowers. I looked the V&A collection and found antique Japanese photographs of the Morning Glory flower. They have unusual irregular petal patterns and these flowers remain in my heart and memory.
I recently lost my father, and during this pandemic lots of people lost their loved ones… so I wanted to dedicate my new pieces to those who have lost someone near and cerebrate the lives of the people who are recently gone. Life is fragile, but I believe in the power of nature and all living creatures to live out their natural lives to the fullest. It is a precious thing." - NS
