Concept of artwork 設計理念:

Lantana, an invasive tropical weed, shifts its floral hues to draw pollinators — a fleeting transformation echoed in the subtle gradient of the work. This gentle, slow shift in colour alludes to the hidden and often unnoticed ephemerality of local flora in an ever-shifting landscape. Delicately layered in porcelain, the soft gradient traces a quiet moment of change — a delicate balance between fragility and resilience.

其他說明:

Tan’s studio practice is a material-driven investigation of the fragile yet enduring nature of porcelain. The inherent properties of the material — whiteness, luminosity and translucency allude to the quiet and fleeting hybridity of light and nature. Her designs reflect notions of fragility and impermanence in the ever-changing. To record nature in a delicate state of flux, the floral motifs preserve the subtle tension between strength and fragility. Her techniques emulate the qualities of soft light filtering through foliage, overgrown local weeds and glistening dewdrops, often immaterial and overlooked in the urban landscape. Her design collection is a series of sculptural porcelain installations: wall, floor and hanging, that interplay with light and space. The space is designed to invite viewers into a quiet observation of the transitory moments found in the mundane.

A work that stands out for its texture and space.

It's a work that startles people, but that astonishment is only about how it was made. I felt it was necessary to further enrich the content of the work itself.
