In the public art project "U Kim: U Florist", artists and community members engaged in a whimsical exploration of the theme of "flowers", transforming the leftovers in life into exotic and beautiful plants, providing us with an innovative way to touch art and a new perspective to examine daily life.
In Suzhou, the most exceptional kind of "flower" is undoubtedly bonsai. Bonsai, to be precise, is an artwork that uses plants, rocks, water, soil, and other elemental materials to depict natural landscapes within the pot. The core of bonsai lies in miniaturizing nature within reach, conjuring a world of grandeur in a matter of inches. There are no restrictions on what flowers to plant or what kind of landscape to replicate, as long as it meets personal preferences. It can be pine and cypress trees in front of the courtyard, can also be colorful flowers blooming everywhere, can be classical, can also be cyber and science fiction. As a florist for a day, imagine freely in this extraordinary flower house, using the most everyday leftovers to improvise a unique bonsai.
