Nakamura Emika

I am soothed and captivated by the beautiful green color of plants and the pure atmosphere they create. In plants, leaf veins play an important role in supporting the leaves and carrying water and nutrients. The way the leaf veins spread out aligns with my own desire to expand my knowledge and technical experience, and I express this through the rope pattern.
