Sculptural Plants

Anthurium and phormium (new zealand flax)
multiple containers, no kenzan

How many glass vases are there? Two or more?

Water is always being considered as an important element of Ikebana arrangements but in this particular case of glass vases, water is the shin. So we 
pay great attention to the branches or leaves seen through the glass container. Here I use small glass vases within the big ones to keep the phormium leaves neatly in place and let the water have center stage.

The New Zealand Flax (phormium) leaves are used to create a sculptural presence while the red and green anthuriums accentuates and enhances the whole composition.
