Montreal-based fashion designer Raku Inoue has been arranging a variety of plant and flowers to create animal sculptures for years now. He used natural materials to form various display of animals and insects then photographed and shared them in his Instagram account.

This time he takes his craft to a more innovative arrangement. In his ongoing Natura series, the artist goes white in his floral creations as he dedicate this to his stepfather who just passed away.

In the series, he uses flower petals, stems and leaves to form tigers, owls, beetles and butterflies, taking advantage of the natural shapes of his raw materials to create these lively illustrations.

Natura Insects: "Kabutomushi–Strengh" (3/3) – He was a man of character, a person of principle with many loving facets. A very respected karate teacher for some and a very kind friend for others but for me, he was someone who saw the potential in me. Supporting and helping me along the way. His words of encouragement will never be forgotten, he really did treat me like I was his own. Reynald Leboeuf, my beloved stepfather passed away recently. The past few months were very difficult for him as he was suffering from cancer. But no longer, he is now forever pain free. He will be sorely missed. R.I.P. – – #life #death #nature #flower #arrangement #art #design #inspiration #inspire.
