“Ranbu, meaning ‘Spirited Dance,’ is a work that I have actually composed a number of times. The addition of the word ‘arc’ to the title, alludes to the shape of the moon I placed in the background. It was with this motif, the kimono-clad woman, that I first began my exploration of combining planar design elements with realistic expression. In previous versions of Ranbu, I had painted strong, powerful women. This time however, I imagined a woman who is graceful, and quietly reserved.”
