pristine white pleated garment are accents of peach and goose-yellow blossoms,
harmoniously contrasting with the rosy hues on the girl’s cheeks. The girl’s
eyes reveal prominent starry whiteness in her pupils, reveal prominent starry
whiteness in her pupils, foreshadowing the lingering snow waiting to melt. The
blush tinges her eye contours, cheeks, nose and earlobes, alluding to the endless
winter and the anticipation of spring’s arrival. The work is full of “mournful but not
distressing” found in traditional Japanese painting and literature, bringing viewers
into the mysterious pure beings in the snowy country, and purifying their spirits.
“I leave blank spaces in my works, hoping that viewers can feel the
beauty hidden in those empty spaces.”

{{Kiriko Iida
Iida’s utilization of white and emotional expression are not only manifested in ඵࣶ͞ɿ ᇌࢬʘ௢ 1‘dذ੹೥̺d72.7Ò116.7 cmd2018

colours, but also in pervasive blank spaces throughout the composition. However,
the white space is intentionally accumulated through subtle variations of similar
tones, adding a touch of serenity and beauty to the work, evoking the hope of
spring’s arrival, captivating the heartstrings, and imbuing the work with the
understated beauty of the East.

In Percy Bysshe Shelley’s Ode to the West Wind, he wrote, “If winter comes, can
spring be far behind?” Reflecting on Iida’s works, one can almost hear the sound
of snow falling and flowers blooming, as life originates from nature, pure and
brilliant. We are not afraid of the cold of winter, only longing for the arrival of spring! ̏ऎ༸݆ٙ˚ʘᙶ
