Cherry Blossoms

In the eternal flow of time, time passes like opening the pages of a book.
I used a cherry tree in splendid blossom to express the ephemeral nature and grandeur of life in all of its dignity.
I framed the sunlit cherry with a contrasting background of
a moonlit spider’s web holding onto water drops.
I painted lacquer on the relief expressing light and applied gold leaf on top of it, I applied egg shell to the cherry, and I painted lacquer on the lead plate on which I had pressed ridges.
