This series is inspired by the hibiscus chrysanthemum and takes its traditional symbol of protection from evil as its main axis. The hibiscus and chrysanthemum in the painting are in a withered and withered state, but they still seem to have life and vitality. They are like a deceased person, an image of faith, giving faith and courage, and guarding us who are wandering strongly in the ever-changing world. -A blue bird that seeks and builds a place to stay.
