HANAFUBUKI - An Unseasonable Display

This installation was my final piece in the Shofuso Colors exhibition series, and signaled the close of my residency. I used a bright iridescent pink twine to evoke the paths of Cherry Blossom petals as they cascade and flutter in the form of HANAFUBUKI (Cherry Blossom Snow, or literally Flower Snow).

I also hoped to chip away at notions of seasonality, by converging spring and fall, birth and death. I found an interesting analogy between the flourish and fall of of leaves in autumn and the flourish and fall of petals in spring.
