on Spring Soil:
Here comes
the rain
Ravaged,
the flower dances lightly in the wind
Ere
disappearing in the mire
Twirled
round and round
It passes
away for a voyage around
Awaiting
the next bright bloom
Titled Saku-lala-ra, this series of paintings
is an extension of creative works developed by the artist for the Formosan
cherry curatorial project named Third Voyage** between 2018
and 2019. The curatorial project focused on the concept of the reincarnation
and inter-connections of life.
When the artist returns to working with her expertise of
painting, what is preserved is the spirituality, delicacy and profound beauty of
cherry blossoms. The artist hopes that the art works will provide an
opportunity to reveal the cherry blossoms forever in the heart of the artist,
allowing them to bloom once again in another format.
The series of Saku-lala-ra paintings are all named after
their media characteristics, year and created-order.

**《Third voyage》:
The "Third Voyage - Cross-disciplinary Installation
Art Exhibition" project originated from a cherry tree in the home of
artist Huang Kai-Hsing’s grandmother. Due to the withering and wilting of the
cherry tree in the mountains, the roots are more affected by the irregular
heavy rain caused by climate change, causing damage to the soil after being
soaked. After living for nearly 40 years, the tree doctor judged its physical
death to be the end of 2017. Having put emotions and projections into the
cherry tree, the cherry tree symbolizes a link to various people, things, and
places. The artist also considers the cherry tree as a part of his life
experiences. Thus, analogous to the last voyage of a farewell ceremony, the
artist combines installations, music, floral art, video art, and symposiums to
constitute the exhibition. At the same time, the exhibition explores the
connection between art, environment, climate change, individual, survival, and
life.
