Bloom Paradise. Flower of Hope

Artist: Jun T. Lai

“Bloom Paradise. Flower of Hope” is centered around the symbols of multiculturalism and the lotus, vividly presenting the blueprint of life’s brilliance. The work symbolizes “the creation of life” and “the regeneration of life,” depicting the life cycle from the mundane to the sacred, from impurity to purity, and from death to rebirth, revealing the transformation and renewal of life. The spirit and metaphor of the lotus are transformed, symbolizing the life cycle of nature. The multi-colored petals represent a multicultural co-creation, where each flower embodies a unique world.
