This piece is based on my early code when I habitually started creating pieces in p5js. If you compare it to an actual AJISAI (hydrangea), its form lacks reality, but to me it has a nostalgic feel to it. During the process of creation, I was reminded of paper collage (Chigiri-e) as I worked. In Japan, Kiyoshi Yamashita is one of the most famous Chigiri-e artists, and the 100th anniversary of his birth has just passed. Damien Hirst also made a series of cherry blossom paintings, which I found very much like Kiyoshi Yamashita's work when I saw them. This work reminds me of the art class in elementary school. It would be wonderful if we could enjoy arts and crafts again through programming, and I am touched by such qualia.
