Kokoro
––– is a Japanese word that translates to “heart” in English— but its meaning goes beyond the physical organ. It refers to the emotional and spiritual core of a person.
Although our kokoro is always within us, we can sometimes lose touch with it —forgetting to listen, or feeling as if it’s out of reach.
In this piece, a giant flower sculpture represents the heart itself.
Through this visual metaphor, the work invites us to tune into our inner voice,
honor our feelings, and live with honesty and presence.
It is a quiet reminder to return to ourselves.
