『Flower of Life』
2020 Acrylic and Swarovski crystals on canvas
Size: 13.1 in × 13.1 in (33.3 cm × 33.3 cm)
Exhibited in a solo exhibition (Ginza, Japan)
This piece represents the Flower of Life.
The geometric pattern, composed of numerous circles, illustrates the cycle of life—from seed to tree, to flower, to fruit, and back to seed.
It has been depicted throughout history around the world, even being studied by Leonardo da Vinci.
While this pattern is generally drawn in a flat, two-dimensional form, I have rendered it to appear three-dimensional, with the sparkle of Swarovski crystals enhancing its sense of vitality.
