STORY: FUJI ETERNAL CYCLE
The series represents the cyclical nature of life, impermanence, and the pursuit of new horizons.
This artwork invites to reflect on the cyclical nature of life and ever-evolving nature of life's journey. At the heart of this series lies the iconic Mount Fuji, as a backdrop for the display of life that unfolds. The Chinese peony flowers, the 'king of flowers' take center stage, representing resilience, bravery, honour and good fortune. Accompanying the peony flowers is a butterfly, representing transformation. The ephemeral bloom of Sakura cherry blossoms represents the impermanence of life, urging us to appreciate the present moment. An lastly, birds of all ages perch upon a gingko branch, embodying the concept of growth, freedom, and new beginnings. The gingko carry the symbol of longevity (the tree can live for a thousand years) and of a more profound endurance (four ginkgos survived the blast at Hiroshima and are still growing today).

The artwork come in three series with different backgrounds:
- Acrylic Fluorescent pink background with golden touches (limited edition of 5)
- Acrylic Golden background (unique edition of 1)
- Screenprinted Japanese Washi paper (limited edition of 5)
