Shoan's ikebana and Brendon Lee's koto performance
at Box Hill Institute Mental Health Week 2022
Shoan Lo had the honour of collaborating with Melbourne-based koto musician Brendon Lee for a truly unique event. They were invited to perform a one-hour ikebana performance at the Box Hill Institute during Mental Health Week, showcasing the beauty and therapeutic nature of this traditional Japanese art form.
In ikebana, the art of flower arrangement, the process of creation is considered just as significant as the final result. As the audience gathered at the event, they were about to witness a captivating spectacle. Shoan Lo, armed with an array of fresh blooms and foliage, set out to construct a large-scale ikebana.
Brendon Lee, a master of the koto, a traditional Japanese stringed instrument, accompanied the performance with his serene melodies. The gentle sounds of the koto resonated through the space, setting a tranquil ambiance as Shoan began her artistic journey.
