The Rising of Joy III
2024, 53 x 36 x 140cm
camphor wood, aluminum
The Rising of Joy series celebrates the transcendence into higher state of consciousness through
the configuration of flowers growing from contorted tiger’s legs. For Chen, joy is a state of mind
that has no antithesis. Unlike happiness easily turning to sadness, joy is a fruit of enlightenment
and inner fulfillment, embodied as flowers in her work.
