Lin Hsin-Chen – Seasons – Blessed Season

In recent years, many disasters have occurred due to climate change, such as earthquake, drought and flood. We need more consolation and hope. I pray for those who have encountered hardships and difficulties. I hope they will enjoy the beauty of cherry blossoms and feel blessed.

I describe the difficult challenges that we’re facing in our lives as winter. God is benevolent. After harsh winter, he gives people a pink sea of cherry blossoms to comfort their minds, enhance courage to fight for future and face life with joy. This is the blessed season that I feel.

Materials: commercial cottons, dyed fabrics, silk, satin, nylon fiber, woolen yarn, glitter, ribbon, Romanian thread

Thank you Diana and Els! I’m glad to hear that you can feel the joy and happiness in this piece. I visited the mountains in Taiwan this March and I was so lucky to see the beautiful cherry blossom. The beautiful scene brought me bright hopes of the future. So, I’d like to share the feeling with you all.
