This collection represents an ongoing study through Sogetsu ikebana, where each arrangement is born from a specific lesson and set of principles. Sogetsu teaches that ikebana can be created anywhere, by anyone, with any material, and these compositions reflect that openness. Across the body of work, arrangements shift between minimal and expressive, structured and gestural, using branches, florals, found objects, and unconventional vessels. Each piece is an exercise in line, hierarchy, and negative space, exploring how the same foundational principles can produce vastly different outcomes depending on material, mood, and intention. Together they form a personal archive of growth and experimentation, showing not a single style but a practice that is constantly evolving.
