"Seeds", originally is a series of pigment and acrylic paintings on canvas, evolved from "Herbarium”. Noriko Saito's paintings radiate a quiet strength. Her use of multi-layered colours evokes subtle emotions as well as the natural environment. The series primarily focuses on the life cycle of seeds and the latent forces of life contained within them. A seed is both the beginning and end of a life cycle. Seed l, depicting small seeds floating in space, is a metaphor for migration.
