Ultimately, "Yosino Animo 02" is a meditation on how we preserve what is transient. Yoshino's cherries fall within a week; animo is a mood, not a constitution. Yet the "02" insists on record-keeping. We cannot stop the scattering of petals, but we can name the scattering, version it, return to it deliberately. This work—whether real or imagined—offers no resolution.
