The light, floating quality in early Shojo manga is often described through the Japanese onomatopoeia ’hirahira’, a term that refers to the gentle, wavering motion of thin objects such as butterfly wings, falling petals, or flickering light. Hirahira conveys an ineffable quality, allowing emotion to unfold, rather than be explained. Drawing from this type of visual language, '(In) Bloom' challenges artists to experiment on how their practice might change beyond the screen or page as it takes on space, weight, texture, and time.
