Embrace Spring #2

Every season is one of becoming, but not always one of blooming. Be gracious with your ever-evolving self.

The feminine beauty is always associated with nature. The beautiful and curvy female body echoes the grace and elegance of the blooming orchid. A human life has seasons much as the earth has seasons, each time with its own particular beauty and power, and gift.

My creation is deeply rooted in and influenced by the traditional Chinese philosophy Taoism, which claims that “Heaven and earth coexist with me, all things and I are one (物我合一)”. The profound connectedness between women and nature is always the theme of my expressions.

The inspiration of using a mirror came from the Chinese idiom “镜花水月”. Literally it means "flowers in the mirror and the moon reflected in the water", which is a metaphor of the UNCERTAINTY, UNATTAINABILITY and NOTHINGNESS of life itself. Visually, it adds more dimensions and emotive weights to the creation in a sense of surrealism.
