见花，见自己：草月流花道艺术

English: Sogetsu Ikebana is a school of flower art that originated in modern Japan, emphasizing freedom, individuality, and contemporary aesthetics. Unbound by traditional forms, it views ikebana as an artistic expression that resonates with its time. This ikebana performance by Sogetsu instructor Demin Fan is rooted in the philosophy of the Sogetsu School. Through the interplay of plant materials, line, space, and bodily movement, it unfolds a dialogue between flowers and people, nature and the inner self. The act of arranging itself becomes creation—the tension between flowers and vessels, together with momentary intuition, forms an art in motion. As they watch, the audience is not only seeing flowers, but also, through rhythm and negative space, gradually seeing themselves. This program is funded by the Starr Foundation.
Chinese: 草月流花道，是诞生于现代日本的花道流派，强调自由、个性与当代审美。它不拘泥于传统形式，将花道视为一种与时代共振的艺术表达。 花道师范得敏的花道表演以草月流理念为核心，通过花材、线条、空间与身体动作的结合，呈现花与人、自然与内心之间的对话。插作过程本身即是创作——花和花器的张力与瞬间的直觉，共同构成一场流动的艺术。 在观看中，观众不仅是在“见花”，也在节奏与留白中，慢慢“见自己”。
