This work is inspired by the love story behind the portrait "Marthe de Florian", a work by Giovanni Bellini. The rose-colored arrangement represents her as an actress who lived in Paris during the glamorous pre-war era. The rose represents love. The blue one, on the other hand, represents the strength of a woman wandering through the whirlpool of war, but never despairing and praying for the dawn. The two large curved flowers represent the path to be taken, and the dried blue plant is called the "traveler's tree" and symbolizes the changing times.

Flower artist, colorist. In 1982, she graduated from the Department of Visual arts education, Musashino Art University Junior College of Art and Design. After graduation, she was in charge of the display at a women's clothing shop. In addition, in order to enrich a sense of balance in space design, she started to accumulate experience in the field of Ikebana (the Sogetsuryu school of flower arrangement). After that, she traveled to New York, the place of Visual Merchandising. After returning to Japan, she was exposed to the science of color and architecture and build a unique worldview that combines the sensibility as an Asian and an objective Western theory. Ikebana is a fusion of extraterrestrial life, which is a harmony between heaven and human. A small universe is created in a vase and floral organs such as a board, a container, a tray, a cylinder, a basket etc.to express the deepness of as eternal as heaven and earth. The expression is very elegant and attracts the viewer. Today, globalization is accelerating, and various cultures are interpenetrating and fusing with each other. By combining the Western flower arrangement that respects reason and decorative beauty with the Oriental Ikebana that respects emotional philosophy, energy as the art will be further enhanced.
