Title: Messengers of the Bloom


In Messengers of the Bloom, I bring together the romantic splendour of the peony and the celestial grace of the blue crane — two timeless symbols of peace, love, and prosperity. The cranes, often seen as messengers of the gods, drift silently through blossoms that pulse with life and meaning, as if carrying whispers from a higher realm to the earth below.

These sacred harbingers move gently among the blooms, uniting air and earth, spirit and matter. The peonies unfold like prayers of beauty, while the cranes embody divine communication — the delicate exchange between nature and the unseen.

Through the lens of Scapes, I seek to transcend the physical landscape and enter a mythscape, where emotion, symbolism, and serenity coexist. This work invites the viewer to listen — not with the ears, but with the heart — to the unspoken language between heaven and bloom.
