A heaven in a wild flower

Reva・2022

"一花一世界" means you can understand the world through a flower, or a flower is a world. The phrase comes from the Flower Adornment Sutra. English poet William Blake also wrote a poem with a similar meaning. "To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour. " In my understanding, it is a state of mind that is peaceful and open. Even though this world has flaws, it is full of vitality. A flower may be small, but it is a paradise for bees and butterflies. Everyone is also a flower. We just ignore or forget to observe it sometimes. The artwork is inspired by Chinese porcelain, drawing on the colors of celadon, cloisonné, and Chinese painting. Porcelain, also called china, is a representative of Chinese culture. These vessels are often decorated with flowers and intertwined branches. I hope to use the traditional Chinese aesthetic impression as the keynote to generate all kinds of unique flower worlds with algorithms.
