most pictures (not all) are of my own hands.
mostly blurred or moving. they can move here as well,
if one kicks the glass case ;-)
at first i planned to fit a small ventilator in the case,
but dismissed it as far to much of an anecdote.
the same for the grass-green velvet.
is it serious? as serious as any bouquet of flowers!
why do we put flowers in our house?
to make us feel better; to brighten things up.
well some photography and art can be like that too.
as for the ikebana style,
i am afraid this is not rikka, nor nageire or shoka;
it must be freestyle then.
on the site of an ikebana school i found the following:
It is up to your aesthetic awareness to assemble the materials,
choose their most beautiful aspects, put them in a different
order, and endow them with a value transcending that which
they had in nature. Arranging Ikebana begins with careful
observation of the plant materials. With the help of nature,
beauty is expressed by man's hand.
i knew it! ;-)
