archiemcphee: Japanese botanical artist Makoto Azuma (previously featured here) recently created an awesome installation, entitled Iced Flowers, that fuses the beauty of spring with the cold of winter. A factory located in the Japanese town of Saitama, a couple hours NW of Tokyo, was converted into a gallery space to showcase 16 large blocks of clear ice containing vibrant bouquets of exotic flowers. Arranged in columns of three on the factory’s bare concrete floor, the shimmering blocks hold their flowers like bright jewels, frozen in time and prevented from wilting for as long as the blocks remain intact. As soon as the ice melts the flowers will begin to wither. To get a better look at Azuma’s marvelous Iced Flowers visit his website and follow him here on Tumblr at azuma-makoto, where’s he’s posted large close-up photos of each frozen bouquet.
