Mother Tree and to Make a Garden, explore the profound, often invisible relationship between humans and the natural world. In these two movements, Shizico reflects on her daily ritual of standing with a 130-year-old lime trees, listening through touch, breath, and memory.
This poem and paintings invite audiences to consider the nature, trees and flowers, as a witness to time — to generations, seasons, storms, and urban life — and as a living archive of human presence. Through this intimate exchange between Shizu, plein air paintings and her poems-her artwork reveals a connection that feels ancient, almost ceremonial: a reminder that our sense of being is strengthened through our bonds with the nature world. Her poems offer a moment of stillness in the exhibition, a space where visitors can sense continuity, resilience, and the quiet wisdom carried within all living things through Shizu' s paintings and words. -Grace B.
