Innovative Works Themed Around "Flowers and Sound"
Makoto Azuma Exhibition "Distortion × Flowers" Opens
From Friday, May 15th, the gallery space "EYE OF GYRE" on the 3rd floor of GYRE in Omotesando, Tokyo, will host an exhibition by the acclaimed floral artist Makoto Azuma, titled "Distortion × Flowers."
Pushing Boundaries While Running a Flower Shop, "JARDINS des FLEURS"
The exhibition "Distortion × Flowers" presents works inspired by the theme of flowers and sound, where blossoms are arranged in response to the unique tones created by "effectors"—devices that generate various sound distortions.
The exhibition will feature 25 "Effector×Flower" photographic works, along with installations.
We invite you to experience the overwhelming world created by Makoto Azuma, a floral artist who is active in diverse fields and continuously pursues new challenges.
