HANA is an imagined garden where flowers bloom and fade as people move through the space, reflecting the fluidity of life. Inspired by Fallin’ Flower by SEVENTEEN, this piece translates the song’s imagery—flowers drifting in the wind—into an immersive experience that invites contemplation on time and existence.
“刹那に生きてたど君と会い
Only living in a moment, I met because of you;
そう全てにわ意味があることを知ったんだ
Only then can I understand that everything has meaning.”
Flowers are often seen as symbols of beauty, yet their fading is just as meaningful as their blooming. The falling petals do not signify an end, but rather a transformation to nurturing new beginnings, much like the continuous cycle of life. I hope this garden offers a space for reflection, where visitors can embrace both the fragility and resilience of fleeting moments. In doing so, they may find comfort in the realization that every passing moment carries its own quiet significance.
