Summer’s Last Bloom

• Artist Statement

  In this artwork, I used the trumpet creeper, whose flower language includes ‘waiting.’ Through it, I wanted to express that I am waiting for the moment I dearly miss. The flower blooms briefly yet beautifully, and I hoped to convey that same feeling of longing and anticipation within the fading days of summer.

• Creative Statement

  I believe that creativity is about generating new ideas, combining existing things in new ways, expressing them in one’s own style, and stepping outside the usual boundaries to try something different.
