"The Cherry Blossoms are about beauty and life and death.
They're extreme - there's something almost tacky about them.
They're decorative but taken from nature.
They're garish and messy and fragile and about me moving away
from Minimalism and the idea of an imaginary mechanical painter
and that's so exciting for me."
- Damien Hirst
