Pet lovers prioritize the health and safety of their beloved animals, often limiting indoor plants to ensure their well-being. However, decorating with flowers can enhance a space aesthetically while also providing a sense of calm and relaxation.

In this piece, I have incorporated traditional Japanese elements, using Washi colors—deeply rooted in Japan’s cultural heritage—and the Sunago technique, a time-honored artistic method.

May this artwork become a part of your interior, blending tradition with modern living, and offering a safe and harmonious choice for both humans and animals.

During my travels in Turkey, I often found myself pausing in awe at breathtaking sights. Just a short walk from my hotel, I was met with a vast expanse of tranquil, crystal-clear blue sea, enveloped in silence, as if time itself had stopped. Being surrounded by such natural beauty filled my heart and awakened new sensitivities within me.

I have infused this artwork with the same sense of inner peace, allowing viewers to momentarily escape the noise of daily life and embrace serenity.

This piece also incorporates discarded cushioning materials that were originally meant to be thrown away. Through art, I aim to give new value to these resources and spark the imagination toward repurposing what has been used. Typically, waste is associated with dirt or discomfort, but I have intentionally transformed its essence—expressing stability and tranquility in contrast to its conventional perception.

Against a backdrop of vast, crystal-clear skies stretching endlessly into the distance, delicate yet beautiful flowers bloomed at my feet. While everyone else was captivated by the breathtaking scenery, I was the only one photographing the flowers. At that moment, I realized that in the presence of overwhelming, grand happiness, the smaller joys in life often fade into the background.

Having great aspirations is admirable, but happiness can also be found within reach. This sentiment is at the heart of my artwork.

This piece also incorporates repurposed tea leaves and coffee grounds—materials that would otherwise be discarded. These substances, thrown away countless times a day, became a meaningful challenge for me to explore. When I first used them as a textural element, I was struck by how undervalued they had been. By recognizing the potential in discarded materials, I was reminded of the power that action holds.

Just as noticing the beauty of small flowers beneath our feet can shift our perspective, I hope this piece inspires a deeper awareness of the small yet meaningful challenges we can address in our daily lives.
