The Language of Flowers

UltraSuperNew Tokyo gallery will host a new exhibition featuring the work of Yoko Ogata. 

This exhibition captures one year of Ogata’s daily journal entries, a practice that began without a clear destination and continues to unfold through unexpected shifts.  Ogata creates flowers using a variety of unique monotype prints on washi paper and linen. Each of Ogata’s flower pieces is a translation, a visual language, of her lived experiences.

Rather than searching for a single conclusion, the work embraces transformation itself as an ongoing process rather than a finished one. The exhibit is a portrait of a self still becoming — flowers, fragments, layers and the relationships between them. Together, they reveal an ever-changing inner landscape that continues to bloom.

The gallery will host an opening reception on November 13 at 6:30 p.m.

Reservations are required to see the exhibition on Tuesday to Friday, but walk-ins are welcome on Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. The gallery is closed on Sunday and Monday.
