Instagramさんのインスタグラム写真 - (InstagramInstagram)「Flower artist Azuma Makoto (@azumamakoto) spends his time seeking out the mystery and hidden beauty of flowers and plants. ⁣ ⁣ “The inspiration for my work always comes from the flowers themselves,” say Azuma, whose botanical sculptures range from boutique pieces to large-scale installation projects. “Rather than find my own voice, I listen to the quiet voices of the flowers and plants. The work starts when one understands what they are trying to say.” ⁣ ⁣ With the flowers “changing moment by moment,” Azuma says making time-lapse videos of flowers and his working relationship with his collaborator and photographer Shiinoki Shunsuke is essential to preserving his work. ⁣ ⁣ “A still photograph can capture the moment but not the continuity, hence the need for the time-lapse work. Depending on how the video is taken, it can show various characteristics of the flower, such as opening, moving and withering, as though the flower has a clock inside it,” says Azuma. ⁣ ⁣ “Using flowers involves accepting their gift of life, so I always show my respect for this life in my art.” ⁣ ⁣ #ThisWeekOnInstagram⁣ ⁣ Photos and video by @shiinokishunsuke」7月28日 1時22分
