Looking at the Japanese art of flower arrangement, Ikebana. The word Ikebana comes from ikiru (to live), and hana (flowers and branches); with possible translations being 'giving life to flowers', or 'living flowers'. The practice of Ikebana is a time to observe and work with nature, to find its form and build a world in response. There's an element of preservation and recording a moment or feeling in time using Ikebana for the practitioner, whilst also being a form of self-exploration through and with nature.
