Artwork Statement

A personal interpretation of the Orchid, Joyce created this series which speaks of nationalism and a sense of identity, and how it is able to be stripped from its generic form and turn it into pieces that would catch the audience’s attention. Each flower carries a personality of its own, and represents the individual’s perspective of the country they are born and raised in, as well as the cultivation of changes seen throughout the years.

The usage of colours like pink and green in subtle and gradual forms gives the artwork dimension from different angles, as well as the steady growth of a flower reaching its full bloom stage. A key message behind this series would be strength and how a bud pushes its way to bloom into a full grown flower

作为对兰花的个人诠释，Joyce创做了这个系列，它讲述的是关于民族主义和认同感，以及如何将兰花从一般形式中剥离出来，并将其变成可以吸引观众注意力的作品。每朵花都有自己的个性，它代表着个人对他们出生和成长国家的看法，以及多年来对所看到的变化的观点的进步。

粉红色和绿色等颜色的微妙和渐变的巧妙使用，从不同的角度赋予了这件艺术作品的维度，以及一朵花从出生到盛开的稳定生长的过程。这个系列背后传递的一个关键信息是力量以及花蕾是如何用它自己的方式成长绽放成一朵成熟的花朵。
