Inspired by Xi Murong’s poem “The Invitation” and its image of blossoms reborn as blossoms, the installation evokes the exuberant vitality of a hundred flowers in bloom, of all things stirring awake, of a dream quietly coming true at its most luminous instant. Drawing on the lobby’s most emblematic feature, the Plum Blossom-Shaped Caisson Ceiling, the arrangement opens from the floor upward, ascending along buoyant and fluid lines like the first shaft of light at daybreak, rising tier upon tier, taking shape as a single resilient sheaf of abundant blossom.
The palette draws on tender pink and apricot yellow. Pink carries the gentleness and hope of spring; apricot yellow lends warmth and the pulse of life. Together they weave an atmosphere as bright and burnished as morning light, conveying the freshness and vigor singular to Taiwan’s indigenous flora, and breathing into the entire space the air of a new beginning.
To Look Upon Yuanshan: in the instant blossoms enter the gaze, the moment becomes eternal. That surging vitality dissolves the solemnity and distance native to the original architecture, releasing the traditional plum blossom motif into the very flow of the flowers, drifting gracefully down from the historical beams and columns, transfigured into a wisp of fragrance within arm’s reach.
Where historical depth and contemporary elegance gracefully converge, flowers serve as the chosen language with which we welcome each traveler who arrives. To pause in the lobby and gaze upward is to find a brocade of blossoms unfurling into view, a feast suffused with vitality unfolding at this very moment, blooming toward its fullness.
