LILY
Ikebana Artist based in Sydney
Centuries of wisdom, expressed through contemporary practice.
About LILY
LILY (理々) is an ikebana artist based in Sydney.
Rooted in the Ohara School tradition, her practice brings centuries of ikebana into dialogue with contemporary life through installations, cultural experiences and collaborative projects.
Her work responds to the character of each place, drawing from the surrounding architecture, season and atmosphere to create compositions that exist only in that moment.
For LILY, ikebana is not simply a tradition to preserve, but a living practice—one that continues to find new meaning in contemporary life.
