I believe that one small seed is the source and new living organism is born. This work was created to convey the meaning that if we always live with hope, our lives will bear abundant fruit just as the roots of a plant grow endlessly. Using white traditional paper, you can clearly see how the paper textures are interconnected. This is to show how the roots of a tree are connected to each other. Small origami lotus flowers made in different colors represented the diversity of our community. Just as everyone in the Greater Community lives in harmony with each other, in order to strike a balance, each form is connected with silk thread to create a moving sculpture.
