The original series "Herbarium" is comprised of paintings and mixed media images of plants. Noriko Saito first began creating plant images for her "Goethe series", inspired by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Metamorphosis of Plants. Since 1999, she has continued to explore the nature of plants in "Herbarium". The hidden strength and energy that imbues everything from inanimate objects to the most sophisticated forms of life has always interested her. Through "Herbarium" Noriko Saito has depicted the primal forces that shape life in all its forms.
