A flower is the ultimate state in which a plant draws the energy from its environment and blooms at the right timing, extending its vitality in a form of beauty.

It is inspired by the traditional thank-you baskets that artist Ching ke Lin responds to the core idea of PX Mart’s “2021 We Together” charity festival, turning the strong and durable bamboo into warm and soft blossoms with his weaving technique. In the past, traditional thank-you baskets were made of bamboo, which carried people's gratitude. And flowers with blessings were placed in the baskets, which represented an important part of people's life and culture.

The bamboo-weaving buds and flowers form a bouquet of gratitude and the landscape invites people to offer their praise amid the turbulent society. In the midst of 180 flowers in array in Daan Forest Park square, we look up, walk through and let our bodies and minds wander through the gaps. May we not forget our vitality and creative instincts in a turbulent environment. We are grateful to doctors, nurses, police, and fire brigade who contribute enormously during the pandemic and to each of us.
