From 31 August to 12 October, 2024, WKM Gallery is pleased to present “Meridiem”, Japanese artist Megumi Shinozaki’s first solo exhibition in Hong Kong. Shinozaki has attained recognition as the founder and creative director of edenworks, a creative studio that specialises in utilising flowers and plants to create artworks, installations, and experiences that function as catalysts for meaningful connection to people and nature.

“Meridiem” is an artistic extension of her work with the studio, and will present a series of around 200 brand new paper flower works all handmade by the artist, as well as a fresh flower installation composed of local flora. These two contrasting approaches - one that makes use of paper to create eternal blossoms, the other a tribute to the ephemerality of the natural cycle of life - together represent the central theme of Shinozaki’s practice, in which the flower becomes a symbolic way to explore the profound area between alive and not, temporary and eternal.

Two sessions of special workshops, led by Megumi Shinozaki, to learn how to create beautiful flower arrangements in glass bottles, will be held on 30 and 31 August in conjunction with the exhibition.

Opening Reception: 31 August 2024 | 3 – 7 pm
Gallery address: 20/F, Coda Designer Centre, 62 Wong Chuk Hang Road
