"The girl is painted as an allegory of unbloomed flower. I create many pieces inspired by plants. I love growing plants and flowers. Sometimes I feel as if they know wisdom of life far better than I do. As I mentioned in the previous question, the girl represents unbloomed flower. The petals surrounding the girl’s hair are not in their full bloom and that is a metaphor of “unawakened†or “unenlightened.†So the girl is on her way to find wisdom of life. The name Buddha means “person who attains spiritual enlightenment,†in other words, Buddha is a person who reached out to wisdom of life. That is the reason why I titled this piece as Girl Floweregg Like a Buddha Style. The girl is not “Buddha girl,†but she’s on her way to bloom her spiritual flower. " - Yosuke Ueno
