Fractured Ephemera series reinterprets Ikebana as a vibrant, multidimensional composition, liberated from its traditional spatial constraints. Florals being cut and rearranged turn Ikebana into hovering sculptural pieces, disassembled, stacked, and reconstituted into novel visual constellations.
Freed from the vessels, these compositions are in liquid digital spaces, engaging with fragmented landscapes, abstract textures, and unexpected juxtapositions. Like the organic unpredictability of Ikebana itself, this process is susceptible to chance, where digital layering, distortion, and re-composition mirror the delicate balance between manipulation and spontaneity.
Cut and paste becomes a metaphor for trimming and arranging, translating Ikebana’s transient, physical presence into a dynamic, evolving form. Tradition meets contemporary digital aesthetics here, refiguring Ikebana as a visual language that transcends time and material.
