In the previous work, 'Night Garden,' flowers were an image as a being of desire that ripened in abundance and bloomed at night. Flowers blooming in the night garden exuded vitality and simultaneously expressed frustration and loss of desire with pigments flowing down along gravity. This solo exhibition in four years looks at flowers from a different perspective from previous research. Flowers viewed as sculptors are interpreted and expressed differently from those of painters. Unlike the flatness of paintings that can draw imagination, the expression of sculptors who draw materiality and work with it is very different. Flowers are commonly used objects, and many works with flower motifs are still worth exploring if you change your perspective. Flowers and beauty have been used in various cultures in a symbolic sense. Religiously, it also means the birth or reincarnation of life. As such, flowers have been used closely with human life, history, and culture. Even in happy moments, it is an object that does not fall out when expressing happiness. Therefore, even with simplified symbols, flowers are universal and recognized as flowers. With a few petals and strands of yellow flowers, they undoubtedly become flowers. Flowers often appear in drawings that children draw poorly. They are clumsy and straightforward but are enough to express happiness. The child colors faithfully to his instinct for color. In this exhibition, I explore the most basic and purest flowers that children seem to express from flowers that expressed frustration at the same time as the desire of the previous work. I draw and color with the child's heart, which selects and draws primary crayons. Flowers are drawn not only on the plane but also in the space.
