9. Heartbeat
"Just having it there makes you feel the presence of life."
First of all, I aimed to create a piece that would catch the eye of people when it comes into view, before making them stop and take notice.
People walking with their lovers, friends, spouses, or loved ones, people rushing to work, people coming to see the artwork,
I believe that if everyone can sense the presence of something above all else, then there is no doubt that there is "life" there.
This is a piece of art that will give those who take the time to look at it a deeper sense of "life" through environmental issues.

3. My Universe
What is the origin of "life"? I have interpreted this question as the beautiful radiance of all tangible and intangible things and phenomena that exist in the universe and the natural world.
We expressed the raw beauty of nature, the complexity of the universe, the diversity of life, and the most harmonious and balanced world in the ever-changing times, "the universe itself." The future woven with flowers and plants is here...

5. Where does water go?
A plant that is cut off from its roots will eventually wither and die when the moisture contained within it runs out. By planting it as a hedge or other structure, and showing the familiar inner expression of Kaizuka Ibuki, we hope to convey the water contained within it, as well as its strength to soak up water even when it is cut down, along with the fragrance it carries with it.
Miharu Akiyama

Touching the sound...
Flowers springing forth like a whirlpool, and a sense of being drawn in
I drew the connection of colors using flowers.
Listen carefully and you'll hear your favorite music.

Graviternal #15
The "Graviternal" series is based on the theme of gravity. Gravity distorts our perception of time and space, and recent research has also suggested that gravity travels between dimensions. I create my works while thinking about the "space" between such beings. In this work, I created the image of something mysterious raining down according to gravity passing through the body of the Buddha and spreading color onto the earth.

The process of making dreams come true
～The process of making dreams come true～
This year's theme is "Excite the future with flowers."
I create a showcase that shows the "process" of making dreams come true.
By accepting connections with a wide variety of people, things, and events,
Your feelings, sublimated through time, will make your dreams come true.
That dream will also connect to someone else's dream somewhere in the future.
