Artist Comments: This work is an extract of Japanese culture and the beauty of the four seasons.
It is dedicated to the cherry blossom, which symbolizes harmony, spiritual perfection and renewal in an endless cycle.
The regenerative power is connected with strength, hope and trust, and insects which are symbols of good luck are collected.

Art enriches life and its ultimate function is to make people happier.
