Memory is always connected to ambience and climactic atmospheres, and the imprint left by the natural world is always more direct and profound in this respect. This is a work deriving from the childhood memories of the artist, probing the dependence- intimate to the point of holding her hostage-of the artist upon her mother.

The morning glory, also known as “Asakao” in Japanese , a variety of flower that blooms early in the morning only to fade several hours later, is a plant which, in microcosm, captures a childhood shared by mother and child in the Wynn Street Park in Central. Years afterward, the pastel pink wild flower had vanished without a trace from the park, only to re-appear in the wilderness beside a farmland frequented by the artist. Was this due to an error or lapse in the artist's recollection, or had the flower really disappeared entirely from the city? Perhaps it could be imagined as being something akin to fireworks lighting up the night sky, a fleeting form forever impressed upon the tablet of memory.
