Diamond Dust (Poems From the Black Sea) Volume II by Anca Ioviţă

The seashells from my collection decorate the arrangements, with leaves, flowers and buds replaced by the former real estate of mollusks and my lyrical thoughts form the structure of the branches.” she further added when briefing about the books. “I am an avid collector of seashells, an interest that started during childhood, but which only during the last 4 years found a home in the world of arts when I started creating Ikebana arrangements without living flowers, in a new style I call “marine Ikebana”.

“The scientific branch of medicine helps sustain life during emergencies, but the beauty of art makes those added moments of life worth living for.” stated the author in the introduction of the book series. The result is a unique display of emotion with the right balance of nostalgia, the poems being spun around the impermanence witnessed by the author with a medical background. Diamond Dust (Poems from the Black Sea) is a series of 5 volumes and contains a collection of visual poems created in eye-catching patterns in a new style of Ikebana (the traditional art of flower arrangement from Japan), called “marine Ikebana” by the author.
