## Caption

This season, our ULTIMATE Evening & Photograph Day Sales auction preview premieres 'earthly flowers, heavenly colors', 2018, a unique installation by ninagawamika. The subject, sakura [cherry blossoms], is one of the artist's signature motifs and seemingly contrasts notions of life and death, natural and artificial, bringing together the traditional and contemporary. Through this dynamic work, we are invited into Ninagawa's distinctive world populated by vivid colors and dense imagery.

Phillips' Yuka Yamaji sat down with the artist to learn more about this layered and distinctive piece. Read the full conversation on phillips.com. ULTIMATE Evening & Photograph Day Sales are on view in London at 30 Berkeley Square through 17 May ahead of the 18 May auction. #collectphotographs
