In this work, the artist abandons some details by means of the night,  abstracts and refines the plant's form, strengthens the life force of the  canna, and achieves an approximation of the plant's essence. In an era where  everything can be quantified, the canna in the dark reminds us that the  essence of existence does not lie in being seen, but in unfolding itself as  it is. Perhaps we all need to accomplish an authentic bloom in the night that  belongs to us.

这幅作品中,艺术家借助黑夜放弃部分细节,对植物形态进行了抽象化提炼,强化了美人蕉的生命张力,实现了对植物最本质的逼近。在这个万物皆可被量化的时代,暗夜中的美人蕉提醒我们:存在的本质不在于被看见,而在于如其所是地展开自身。或许,我们都需要在属于自己的黑夜中,完成一次本真的绽放。
