Interpretation of works:
The symbiotic relationship between flowers and jewelry in history makes flowers unable to escape the cage of "beauty" and inevitably becomes a tool of power. I hope to start from the individual memory and write the process of "flowers" as prose: refuting false stories, breaking stereotypes, stripping away beautified pains, and presenting savage, sharp, endless and complicated flowers with rough and simple work. And regard the act of wearing flowers as a dialogue with flowers, making it possible for the flowers covered by words to be reborn.

The latter through the repeated study and transcription of the 108 notes of Beauvoir's "Second Sex", she appreciated the energy contained in the slightly obscure text, and melted the transcribed text into a six-petal flower-shaped wreath and wore it. In the body, to realize the "power of awakening". In my opinion, she seems to use the behavior of "growing flowers" to complete a spiritual transformation and awakening of life in the process of her growth.
