All living things move steadily toward an inevitable end. Although this path is universally shared, each journey remains uniquely personal, allowing identity to blossom between life and death. 1. Blooming – Shy to reveal its naked inner flesh, the flower partly opens, evoking sexual tension as it begins to express its identity. 2. Full bloom - Flowers unfold all petals, fully expressing their identity through vibrant colors and rich fragrance. 3. Decay - Flowers release their offspring, gradually fading as they complete life’s endless cycle.

Artistic Vision: Rooted in a profound exploration of nature, moving toward fundamental questions about human existence and the mysteries hidden beneath its surface.
