‘Hika-Rakuyo’ is a Japanese idiom that stands for scattering flowers and falling leaves and, metaphorically, suggests the transience of life. Hika-Rakuyo Spirit Flower (2022) by Eternal calls up unnaturally straight lines of light that are constantly overlapping with one another. Petals unfurling as the early morning mist gives way to the first rays of sunlight, blossoms that fall in spring’s gentle breeze, leaves that turn into a riot of colors under the autumn sun. Under the spell of the music, this installation presents the two elements – ‘Hika’ (scattering flowers) and ‘Rakuyo’ (falling leaves) – that remind us of the impermanence of life in the most serene of ways.
