"Life after life, we all want to reach the other side, the shore of paradise. Can the Lycoris Radiata give us a guide?"
​
The entire space was made up of tiles. The tiles in the site were metaphors for a person to revisit the past memory of oneself. The subtlety floral marking of each tile could be seen under the light which creating a looming visual effect. The work tries to show that even if the past has been forgotten, there are still traces can be found or implicitly reproduced. The thinking status of a person is always lined in between real and unreal, observing and resonating with his own memories. Every moment is a brand new start and re-positioning for ourselves in our lives.
​
Memories will create a concept of a linear space in people’ minds: now, past, future. If we assume that the spatial structure is a range and bounded by the timeliness, we observe the presence of one self from another interpretation – from the paradise/ the far shore. The flower of paradise was a symbol for the journey. From here to another far shore, each flower represents different dismays, different thoughts, different sustenance, different lost . Life, made up of different ups and downs. However, people think about the good old days, forget to live in the present, and in the end all would be vanished when the farewell comes.
