Our world is built upon the fusion of opposites going back and
forth until they harmonise. Like the poles of a magnet, these
antithetical concepts define each other and cannot exist without
each other. Contrasts, opposites and differences keep life
interesting – even though keeping a balance between two opposing
forces is often difficult, especially when we understand that one
cannot be achieved without experiencing the other. Floral design,
Ikebana in particular, is often a balancing act in itself. Ikebana
pieces strive for harmony between straight and curved lines, a
right balance between taking away and adding elements, between
adhering to the rules and breaking them. Opposites Attract
uses the idea of opposition and contrast as a starting point.
Starting from an antonym pair, more than 150 international
ikebanists created inspiring and powerful arrangements expressing
two opposing feelings and concepts. The multifaceted ways in which
these contrasts were given shape, attest to the creativity and
ingenuity of our artists and the sheer versatility of Ikebana.
