These works are designed as poetic improvisations a counterbalance to my new old worlds, socially critical that are thematically very taxing because of our difficult times. Here, the pleasant elements of summer and autumn are used to compose an arrangement that relaxes. By alternating leaf and plant motifs with kitchen utensils and empty areas filled in linearly, they develop a character all their own that is typically feminine and rhythmically cheerful.

Ikebana (Japanese: 生花, literally meaning ‘living flowers’) is the Japanese art of flower arrangement.
