The artist Akira Ikezoe quoted for these series of works as below.
Akira Ikezoe quoted:
I got inspiration to draw these series of artworks when I heard the story of an ancient lotus seed which came out from the ground after hundreds of years. Plants may have a vigorous power to survive and leap across the time which we people cannot understand. It is not energy to do something but to feel as a primitive power. It might be similar to the feeling that we were all connected with our mother by the cord as a baby.
When I thought, even if it seems to be that we hauled the nature under our control, there are still some lotus seeds waiting to sprout under the ground, I felt anxiety and curiosity at the same time. Art may be something to describe the memory of the human being who was connected with the earth more intimately like the umbilical cord. I started to think like this and it made me to draw a plant.
