Inspired by Hokushi’s poppy haiku and the nature of creativity, hand-painted, vine-like roots weave across the surface, forming a subtle abstract portrait. Layers of resin interplay—some surfaces sanded to a gentle matte, others left glistening—so that glossy drips frame the face and luminous pools cradle gold flakes shimmering within, adding both depth and tactile richness.

Crimson poppies bloom from the central face, embodying the beauty born from artistic persistence—of making, remaking, and evolving.

書いて見たりけしたり果はけしの花
I write, erase, rewrite—and then a poppy blooms
