[Art]⁠Azuma Makoto is a Japanese flower artist who pioneered the genre of the 'botanical sculpture'. His most notable works include the 'Exobiotanica project', in which he launched a Bonsai tree into space, and the 'iced flowers' series, which sees the changing life of flowers after being placed in frozen water.⁠⁠‘When I work with flowers every day, I notice that flowers are never arranged with one hand, but always with the other hand. It looks as if I am praying, and I feel that this is in line with prayer, because I actually bind the flowers as if I am entrusting my feelings to them' – Makoto⁠⁠#ValeryDemure #ObjetdEmotion #jewellery #Luxury #finejewellery #designerjewellery #jewellerycollector #MaryleboneLife #ChilternStreet #BlandfordStreet #Marylebone #London #Botanical #Flowers #ChelseaFlowerShow #AzumaMakoto
