Flowers are among the major subjects of Sugiura’s photograms. In these works, the artist used flowers purchased at local stores in New York City, removing their stems and leaves and combining them with crochet threads. The juxtaposition of geometric lines with organic forms of the flowers accentuate the natural beauty of the latter. Flowers are a recurrent theme for the artist - she handles them as both symbols and material for her work, both exposing their fragility and insisting on their potency. The works show the artist’s admiration for small things that are often overlooked in our daily lives.
