This sculpture of a fallen cherry leaf, still shifting from summer green to autumnal amber, captures the beauty of decay and the onset of winter. Suzuki’s works are distillations of images of nature in everyday life. This single leaf represents not only the changing seasons but also a landscape of windswept leaves surrounding a barren cherry tree. The sculpture is a play on the theme of cherry blossoms, an iconic symbol of Japan and in Japanese poetry that represents ephemerality and the significance of fleeting moments.
