The life of a cherry tree overlaps my own life.

[Spring] Beginning
[Summer] Spread
[Autumn] Settle
[Winter] Revival

A cherry tree blossoms in spring. But after that, it conveys beautiful different expressions each season.

Spring with its blossoms,
Summer with confidently extending its green leaves,
Autumn when it stops and drops the leaves,
Winter with its storage of power for next year.

I made this work as I was attracted by the ephemeral and dynamic change of a cherry tree which overlaps my inner growth.

Each turn of the seasons makes me grow up and bloom flowers again in another year.

桜の一生と自分の成長と重ね合わせた作品
Sakura-4 seasons-
SATO SUGAMOTO
(春) はじまり
(夏) 広がり
(秋) 立ち止まり
(冬) また再生する

春に咲き誇る桜は、花びらが散った後も四季折々の美しい表情を見せてくれます。

花開く春、自信に満ちて葉を広げる夏、一度立ち止まり落ちる秋、そしてまた咲くために力を蓄える冬。
その儚くもダイナミックな変化に心惹かれ、自分の心の成長と重ね合わせて制作しました。
季節が巡るたびにひとまわり大きくなり、新たな年を迎えてまた花を咲かせます。​
