The Japanese art of flower arrangement - Ikebana is a form of creative expression with rules governing its form. It’s a disciplined art which involves not only the flower but the stems and leaves to draw emphasis on shape, line and structure. It’s a homogeneous blend of nature, humanity and geometry.
Ikebana is almost spiritual, nature is appreciated in silence and it is an art form that was born to teach us patience and tolerance to all forms on this planet.
Ikebana is a perfect vehicle that can express the life of Mahatma Gandhi as they share multiple aspects.
I hope you all like the arrangement above that drives inspiration from SATYAGRAHA
When the Mahatma fasted the world held its breath, this was the power of Satyagraha. The white material signifies Gandhiji in a fast. The flower ‘Protea’ is a South African flower signifying the birth of the political thought process.
Deepti has created it and I thank her for her effort, perfect place to let her know that I do thank her everyday for her support and understanding.
