Unique Properties
The work is based on "Ikebana" (Japanese Flower Arrangement), using various materials to express the image of Giovanni's paint.
The rose colored vase and flowers show Florian's muslin pink dress as well as the image of the era. A protrusion to the upper left painted white, is a dry plant and meant to symbolize Giovanni's passionate hands. You can see a crystal pearl hanging from it, signifying Florian's tears with emotion. The other piece in blue shows contrasting emotions of despair of war.

Research
Researched Italian Impressionism through website and came across the painting of Giovanni Bellini. Impressed by the story behind the art
Inspiration
The inspiration for this art work, consisting of two pieces, comes from the story behind the painting, "Portrait of Marthe de Florian" by Italian painter Giovanni Boldini. The painting had been sleeping for 70 years until it was discovered at Florian's apartment in Paris. This work is an homage to the beautiful memories of Giovanni and his lover Florian. "La Memoire De La Rose " (left) depicts the story of her elegant life in Paris. "La Voyage Bleu" (right) is the image of her life after the war. She lived with dignity.
Project Duration
The project started in April 2016 in Tokyo and was exhibited in Flower Art Award In Tokyo Midtown in April 2017
Operation Flow
Display Tips: 1.Overall coloration may fade overtime, therefore avoidance of the direct sun light is advisable.
2. You can arrange them side by side as shown in the photo. Depending on the space available, you may place them apart from each other. It might be interesting to display it with each facing away from the other, back to back in a place like a museum where the audience flow can be dictated. Such flow must allow viewing "La Memoire De La Rose" first , followed by "La Voyage de Bleu".
