Fragrance of Life builds a vivid yet slightly unsettling botanical world. Strange, stylized plants bloom across the surface — colorful, energetic, but edged with tension.
The flowers feel alive, yet not entirely gentle. Leaves expand freely, yet carry a quiet sharpness. Bright pigments and fluid ink lines interact to create a visual field that is both inviting and subtly mysterious — like a garden, a dream, or an unfamiliar ecosystem.
This sense of contradiction reflects a young artist’s perspective on life: beauty is never singular. It carries vitality, risk, desire, uncertainty — all at once. What appears vibrant and playful also contains complexity beneath the surface.
The “fragrance” in the title is not literal. It refers to the atmosphere of existence itself — growth, transformation, and the fragile tension within living things.
Through the balance of ink and color on paper, the work captures a romantic yet slightly rebellious sensibility — a personal vision shaped by contemporary experience.
