Spiral Sakura is a symbolic journey where the spiral’s bold, fluid curves symbolize growth, evolution, and the interconnected cycles of life, guiding the viewer’s eye from the bottom left to the top right corner in a narrative of progress and transformation.

The spiral is rendered as origami, with delicate folds and creases that catch and reflect light, adding an almost three-dimensional texture to the painting. This detail bridges the abstract symbolism with tangible realism, culminating in the paper’s fan-shaped “blossom” at the spiral’s peak. The foreground and background colors of this painting are taken from a Sakura cherry tree, which adds the symbolism of bursting beauty and renewals as being the ephemeral moments to celebrate through the cycles of life.
