The "Brilliant Blossom of Hibiscus" originates from a brilliantly sunny afternoon when the sunlight fell upon a cluster of hibiscus flowers. The radiant sensation, surrounded by the fierce beams of light, profoundly touched me. The color of this flower is not gentle and subtle like other blooms; instead, it boldly showcases itself, blooming courageously without fear of societal judgments, expressing its inner strength and passion without reservation.

In this piece, I aim not only to capture the external splendor of the flower but also to present its life spirit of "flourishing from within." The flower's heart is as deep as ink, symbolizing a resilient soul, while the surrounding layers of fiery red, orange, and yellow continuously surge forth like passion, joy, and creativity bursting from deep within. This truly echoes my understanding of life—art that profoundly moves us is not about complex techniques, but rather about that sincere and fervent emotion.

The background is treated in a blurred and fluid manner, allowing the flower to emerge like a dream within the space of the heart's imagery, creating a sense of poetic distance. This approach symbolizes the fleeting brilliance of life's moments, which, though short-lived, are real and profound.
