Japanese culture recognizes the short-lived life span of the flower as a symbol of the transience of human existence. When cherry blossoms bloom, they flourish into vibrant and potent flowers only to fall from their trees two weeks later. This is seen as a melancholic yet beautiful metaphor for our fleeting lives. Yuki Tsunoda at Alpha Tauri had a mixed 2020 season filled with positives and negatives. Relating this to the Cherry Blossom, I used this as an inspiration to design this artwork.
