The Sense of Healing In Plants
Dynamic illustration, 2021
Although the inner communication between plants and others (not limited to people, other things are also included) is silent, they tell us their understanding through actions. During the epidemic period, the long stay at home gave us the opportunity to get closer to
plants, and felt the emotional communication with plants which was often ignored because of busy study or work. We may not know or have never noticed whether plants also have hearing or memory and may pass on the perceived emotions to human beings and be able to have a "dialogue" with us. Plants can always pass on the energy of life to us quietly. I hope my project can help people or animals get cured by depicting the emotional communication between plants and different things, ease their inner impetuousness and express the energy of positive life.
This project is inspired by Spanish concerts for plants, the plants were sent to medical staff who fought against COVID-19. I think it's a very creative and romantic thing. Finally, this work presents a series of dynamic illustrations of three different plant themes, expressing the plants' silent use of their own energy to cure human beings.
The first plant that I chose is ginkgo. Animals love getting into the pile of leaves. Golden gingko falling on the ground became a carpet, which for the animals is a warm home. Golden quilt, golden bed, is a good place to sleep. This is also a manifestation of the healing energy of Ginkgo. Plants not only cure people, but also animals.
The second plant is Epiphyllum. Epiphyllum blooms gorgeous but short, by chance, I am very lucky to appreciate the whole process. At night, it blooms quietly in the courtyard when people don't pay attention to. Their opening is just like a ballerina girl. Moonlight from the distance diffuse through the leaves, a quiet warm and mysterious atmosphere arises.
The third plant is lavender. Distillation bottle for making lavender essential oil has become a paradise for children. Lavender in the "distillation bottle" is bubbling with healing energy, and the aroma of steam and flower dew is overflowing. The children feel very comfortable in the slide-like distillation tube. This is lavender paradise, a place full of warm power.
