尾形光琳作「紅白梅図」から着想を得て描きました。右隻に夜の桜、左隻で昼の桜を表現し、中央の水の表現で異なる時間をつなぎます。背景には金と水の銀、また文様の桜と散る桜の花びらで、不変のモノへのあこがれと、変化するモノへの切なさを表現しました。
“For this work, I was inspired by Korin Ogata’s Kohaku Bai-zu. The temporal opposites of the right panel -featuring cherry blossoms at night, and the left panel -featuring cherry blossoms by day, are brought together side by side in a single cohesive work by a flowing body of water in the center of the piece. The gold throughout the background, silver of the water, and the cherry blossom petals -those arranged and those scattered about – are all meant to express the longing for immutable things and the sadness felt in the face of change.”
