About this artwork
In an abstract drawing woven from petals, there is a frozen moment of perception, and contemplation of the falling leaves of sakura - symbol of "mono no aware". An experience fixed in a material object in an attempt to preserve an elusive beauty is protected from the barbaric intrusion of technologies and virtualities.
In Japanese culture “mono no aware” means sadness from the realization of the actual impermanence of life. Fallen sakura petals,… collected by the artist in Stockholm, express in her work the position of a cosmopolitan, a fundamental rejection of the imposed cultural identity. The image of a migrant is a principle of modern freedom, which has two sides: both the mutual enrichment of cultures and personal alienation, longing for a fleeting meeting with cultural tradition, “mono no aware”.
The work celebrates the beauty of imperfection with its cracks to help the viewer to accept reality as it is, because it is the key to happiness as nothing is perfect.
