While composing an ikebana bouquet, Eva listens to a breakup message from a rather superficial ex — and her flower practice may be less about exploring beauty than about taking revenge.

The scouts
A two-minute film about flower arranging that's actually a revenge fantasy wrapped in aesthetic meditation — finally, someone making the obvious perverse choice and committing to it without winking.
The formal restraint here is exquisite; the juxtaposition of ikebana's disciplined tradition against the chaos of emotional rupture creates a lineage-aware counterpoint that recalls works engaging beauty as moral territory.
The genius is in how the sound design of that breakup message bleeds into the visual rhythm of the flower work — one decision that transforms what could've been whimsy into something genuinely unsettling and precise.
