Tulips

"Tulips" is part of my Ikebana collection, inspired by the Japanese art of floral arranging. With roots in Zen Buddhist philosophy, ikebana encourages one to appreciate the beauty of nature while simultaneously recognizing that everything in nature is temporary, and seasons come and go. 

Whether in full bloom, just budding, or already wilting, beauty can be found at every phase of a flower's life.
