Pulchri Studio - Small Format - Spring 2026

Ume-mi 梅見

The poetic term for admiring plum blossoms in Japan is Ume-mi (梅見). This tradition offers hope as winter gradually gives way to early spring. Plum blossom (Ume) symbolizes perseverance, resilience, and renewal. This famous poem by Izumi Shikibu touches on the subtle similarity between blossom petals and snowflakes:

I snapped a branch,

certain the plums were in bloom.

Only to realize the snow was posing as petals.

My new floral still life, Ume-mi — part of the art project Preserved — will be available for purchase at Pulchri Studio from February 17th in the "Small Format" exhibition. Works in this exhibition measure a maximum of 30 x 30 cm and are surprisingly affordable. They can be taken home immediately after purchase. Ideal as a unique gift or to give a beautiful place in your own home or work environment the same day. Ume-mi is also available in the Pulchri Studio webshop.
