• Ikebana is the traditional art of floral arrangement in Japan.

• Nam wrote the following about her series Arranged Flowers, which includes this print: “… the flowers, once cut from their roots, have only a short remaining time to live. They will quickly wither and die, but before they do, they are elegantly and elaborately arranged, as if time will stand still for them. The containers that hold them are disposable objects… These objects, although meant to be discarded immediately after use, often last longer than their intended lifespans.”
