Shoko MIKI
Room 102 of the Art Hotel Gran Paradiso in Sorrento hosts a work by Japanese artist Shoko Miki, whose work explores the profound relationship between man and the natural environment. This room becomes an invitation to reflect on the fragility of nature and the need to respect it, transforming the stay into an experience of aesthetic and ethical awareness.
Shoko Miki - The art in the room 102
Shoko Miki‘s work focuses on the use of natural materials such as wood, leaves, sand and stone, often reworked into installations that combine art and environment. Particularly touching is the Prayer Flowers photographic series, born from the work of documenting the plants that continue to grow in Fukushima after the catastrophe of March 11, 2011. These flowers, photographed with delicacy and respect, become symbols of resilience and silent prayer, addressed not only to nature, but also to humanity marked by environmental tragedies.
