""Quiet Time I" is a visual meditation on peace, tranquility, and the
profound serenity that nature offers. It captures a moment shared between a dandelion and a butterfly - two forms of life I have loved since I was a small boy. Here, the butterfly rests its wings upon the petals, mirroring the quiet stillness within my own heart. To me, this scene is not merely a fleeting moment; it is a snapshot of life suspended within the vast, infinite current of
time that flows from the ancient past into the eternal future."
~ Ryuji Taira
Ryuji is a true soul who seems to have carried his childlike wonder of the natural world into adulthood without missing a beat. His curiosity, from the smallest fly to the dandelions growing on his farm in Japan, only seems to grow stronger and brighter as he continues making new work.
He is there now, surrounded by the quiet beauty and fragility of these dandelions and all earthly passersby that accompany his creative journey like guardian angels.
We are lucky to witness the tenderness, curiosity, and grace that flows through Ryuji’s soul and into the world.
