Multilayered resin, acrylic, pigment, and gold leaf on cradled wood panel
24 × 24 in. (1.5 in. depth), finished edges; ready to hang
Inspired by Hokushi’s poppy haiku and the nature of creativity, hand-painted, vine-like lines weave across the surface, forming a 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 her features, embodying the beauty born from artistic persistence—of making, remaking, and evolving.
“I write, erase, rewrite—and then a poppy blooms.” - Tachibana Hokushi
