POST WINGS

"The Shadow of Flowers" is adorned with a profusion of yellow tulips that spread across the entire canvas. Layer upon layer of floral shadows overlap, resembling the people, events, and emotions we continually encounter in life. Although the flowers appear similar, their different positions, play of light and shadow, and variations in color reveal distinct forms, just as each life experience leaves us with unique feelings and memories.

The composition is divided by blocks of varying colors and shades, creating transitions of light and darkness, warmth and coolness, and tangible and intangible spaces within the blooming floral cluster. These blocks symbolize the different states of life—some bright, some obscure, some passionate, and some calm. We encounter various people and situations at different stages of our lives, and our state of mind shifts accordingly.

However, the flowers remain unbroken by the divisions in the composition; instead, they weave and persist between the different color blocks. Just like life itself, despite experiencing changes in environment and emotions, the people and events we have passed through transform into "shadows of flowers," overlapping one another, ultimately forming a complete and rich landscape of life.
