Anne came to me with a really cool idea inspired by her travels in Japan: a swallowtail butterfly she photographed, and its connection to Himeji Castle and the Ikeda clan crest.
We paired it with a filigree-like leaf ornament that appears alongside the butterfly crest, bringing the references together in a composition of its own.
It was really fun to create a piece inspired by Anne’s ideas, her time in Japan, and the details that caught her eye along the way. Thank you for trusting me with it, Anne 🙌🏼
