It was not all about flowers and twigs – wire, plastic, paper, all used in innovative ways captivated visitors.
“Blossoms of Hope 2024” last month’s exhibition by the members of Ikebana International Sri Lanka Chapter #262, held at the Ivy Room of the Cinnamon Grand Hotel was a vibrant showcase of the creative artistry of the Chapter members grouped into eight different themes, along with freestyle arrangements. Demo-nstrations by Shiromi Soosaipillai and Siromi Elapata also contributed to the success of the exhibition.
What makes Ikebana especially important at this time, is its direct and personal connection to nature, its awareness of and emphasis on decay in an era in which our own ecological and environmental ruin feels more urgent than ever, the members of the Chapter noted.
