KareHana

"It translates the irresistible passage of time from birth to death."Photographer Kengo Osaka's "KareHana" series captures not fresh flowers in full bloom, but rather faded, wilted, and limp flowers that are on the verge of their demise.However, what is captured there is not a point of "death" but a time of "life. The veins and hair-like protuberances of the leaves and the stains on the petals are clearly photographed.Although Osaka's photographs no longer have the power to circulate water and nutrients and have lost their vivid colors, they still have the power to bring to life the time and scene of a flower's life: the sunlight it has bathed in, the air and wind that have drifted over it, the warmth of the soil, and the water it has absorbed. ......As if to defy the title "KareHana" the vitality of a flower trying to bloom until its last moment rises up. This image corresponds to our human life.Text by Shoko Nakamura, Honyashan
