About Transition Exhibition

The exhibition updates the 1400 year tradition of Japanese flower arrangement, Ikebana, for contemporary spaces. It forms an environment where visitors experience floral art through multiple senses. The open layout without walls allows visitors to walk freely and view installations from various angles, replacing traditional frontal observation. Natural sunlight and responsive lighting shift throughout the day, causing the space and the living flowers to change continuously. The design turns flower viewing into an active and dynamic process.
