Artist Creates Animal Sculptures From Flower Arrangements

Inspired by the ancient and traditional Japanese art of flower arrangement—Ikebana—Montreal-based artist and photographer Raku Inoue creates colorful portraits of insects and other animals using flowers, twigs, leaves, and stems from his garden.

She believed that they represented the presence of her late husband. Therefore, insects have always had a special meaning to Inoue. All image credit: Reikancreations
