TSUBAKI - Original Collage
Paper Collage on Masonite • 1.25 x 2.19 in
This original paper collage study celebrates the quiet elegance of a flowering camellia bonsai. Vibrant coral blossoms and fresh green buds emerge against a softly muted background, while rich foliage frames the tree with color and texture. As the eye lingers, the bonsai’s winding trunk gradually reveals itself, its layered paper construction lending a subtle sense of depth and movement.
Handcrafted from individually placed paper fragments and mounted on a wood panel, this one-of-a-kind artwork explores the relationship between color, texture, and form. The subdued palette of the pot and background allows the blossoms to take center stage, inviting viewers to slow down and discover the quieter details that unfold through close observation.
