生命不過是由生向死，向死而生的一個過程。

正值美好時期擁有美麗外表的花朵和失去利用價值被遺棄的花葉樹草，只不過是過程中的某一些過度期。生命從來都是單向的，經過現實摧毀，失去型態， 最終歸於塵土。當死亡來臨之時，我們恐懼的是失去所有，包括對選擇的自由和生存的意志。

而無法掌控自由和意志的植物，將會由這一個展覽重新被人類所塑造。是次展覽由兩位不同領域的設計師共同組合而成。利用不同的工藝將植物幻化提煉成另一種型態而存在。 

No matter how cherished a bouquet is, time will pass and it’s leaves will wilt. Like life itself, even the most astounding blossom eventually leads to an inevitable decay. 

From bud to bloom, wilting to decaying. Life can seem like a cruel and debilitating journey that focuses our notion of survival. Facing death, we fear the loss of our existence, our will to survive and ultimately our sense of identity.  

‘Bloom and Doom’ features works by Chris Li Ka Leung and Yeung Chin, two artists from two different fields. With their unique practices, they both make use of frail plants and preserve their periods of bloom. Transforming their fleeting existence into everlasting creations.

當代金工師李家樑利用有機植物鑄造工藝將花朵停留在最美麗的狀態，集合繁多種類的合金，以植物不同的部分建構起屬於自己美學的工藝品。讓植物得以用金屬的軀體永遠保存。

而時裝設計師楊展則利用植物染印技術將已經死去或失去利用價值的花樹草葉轉印在布料上，重現植物生前最豔麗的色彩，當中隱藏的信息需要觀看者自己參透。 

我們生活於這個不穩定的世界，面對意志和選擇的問題，希望在終點來臨之前，你可以得到所謂的答案。

Contemporary jeweller Chris Li Ka Leung is known for his botanical and insectile metal castings. Though sacrifice of the tangible plant body throughout a burn out process, Chris is able to replicate the same flower in minute details, creating dainty wearable sculptural pieces graced by Mother Nature.

With botanical printing, fashion designer Yeung Chin captures the most vivid shades of plants. Utilising their intricate patterns, he patches with them to convey a message that he holds dearest to himself.

Living in an ever-changing world, endings are unavoidable. Hopefully we also find answers and a way to convert those into constructive impulses.
