This artwork motivated me with the philosophy of death, it is not the end, instead it turns people’s former existence in the world into values.I selected a combination of ceramic and wax materials to reveal flower’s lifetime. It originated from pureness, bloomed in the flame, mixed with fire and light and turned into ashes and broken pieces. It is presenting the idea of empathy and the process of sorrow elimination , while at the same time in memory of my favourite drummer Yifan Cai. Although she is no longer in this world, she left her life and all her emotions in every single drum beat she ever played. When we drowned ourselves into sorrow and pain, we are more likely to focus on what we have lost. However, the unique memories they have brought us, the things they have created as well as the problems and thoughts they have left are still outstanding.

这件作品在生命哲学与存在的意义之中延伸，发起对死亡与生命之后虚实事物的思考。
藏传佛教神秘的坛城仪式认为万物堙灭后又转化为新生。死亡不是终结，而是将人们在这个世界上曾经的存在过的痕迹转化为另一种形式继续存在着，生者的回忆，影像,亦或是一段歌曲... 艺术家选择使用陶瓷和蜡两种材料巧妙结合合来展现花的一生，源自纯洁，在火焰中绽放，与火和光混合，化为灰烬和碎片，将花朵燃烧绽放过后那些留下不可言说的存在具象化，以此隐喻生命。它微妙地呈现了物哀概念中悲伤消解的过程。当我们沉浸在悲伤和痛苦中时，我们更容易把注意力集中在失去的东西上。然而，他们带给我们的独特记忆、他们所创造的一切以及他们所留下的问题和思考，却依然历久弥新。
