ILLUSION FLOWER / 350×210mm

For over 25 years, Kuwai Hana has worked with metal as part of his daily practice, ultimately arriving at a unique form of alchemy.
Guided by this experience, he creates these forms using specially refined metals born from his own metallurgical process.
Upon a jet-black iron plate that holds endlessly shifting expressions, silver illusory flowers quietly come into bloom.
Though they appear as if they have emerged only fleetingly, they possess a distinct presence, standing gracefully within the space.
Their end lies far in the distance;
these phantom flowers will continue to bloom through the passage of countless years to come.

This creation is shaped using special metals, metallurgically forged through deep experience and intuition.
On a jet-black steel plate radiating infinite and unparalleled expressions, silver phantom flowers bloom.
Their end lies in the distant beyond—they will continue to blossom through the endless flow of time.
