In the midst of descending darkness, images projected onto frosted glass move from three-dimensional cubic objects into the domain of a two-dimensional plane. 
Again and again , I peered into the flat images captured in the cameras viewfinder. 
What I witnessed there evoked embodiments of floating world woodblock prints, or other traditional Japanese-style painting, 
depicted through unique perspectives rooted in compression of solid bodies, color shading and other meticulous techniques. 
Working with this 3D spatial sensation on a plane surface, odd yet pleasant to the eye,the aim was to spawn the vision of a razor-sharp blade, 
slashing into dimly dissolving velvetiness, mimicking the actions of a somnambulant state. 
The final step was to bring forth distinctive from, as fleeting as it is distinctive, within the floral realm. 
Here there is faintly voluptuous allure, opaquely adrift, exuding and strewing about images laden with both temptation and peril. 
The shapes of those flowers, clinging fast to the flat surface, struck by beams of light traveling obliquely through water drops, intensify in vitality, 
then sparkle and shine as if suspended in a surging cloud of stardust. 
Before the mind could fully focus in, these forms ushered forth a sense of order richly refreshing, and powerfully reassuring, throughout.
