For this collaboration with Nonaka-Hill Gallery, each artist was invited to explore the theme of 'Care' through their individual perspectives and creative processes.
How does care stretch beyond health-care? How does it spill out into the world? Can it live inside a thing—a cup, a stone, the dent in a pillow where you rested your head? Can that thing hold you for a moment, wrap around you the way sunlight does, soft, sudden? And if it holds you, do you hold it back?
Megumi Shinozaki explores the creative potential of plants and flowers by blending natural elements with various media, crafting original displays for stores, advertisements, fashion collaborations, and more. Self-taught in dressmaking, Shinozaki transitioned to floral design after working in a Tokyo flower shop for six years. Since 2009, she has independently pursued floral artistry, founding unique spaces like "edenworks bedroom," a weekend flower shop, and "EW. Pharmacy," a dried flower bar where customers create custom blends. Through projects like "Paper Eden" and "PLANT by edenworks," she continuously reimagines sustainable floral design, focusing on preservation and the legacy of her creations.
