Desire
Desire is innate in all living beings
PROJECT BACKGROUND
Desire is infinite. It is the instinct of living beings and is indispensable. Beautiful flowers are also the product of human desire. They are not natural, but are processed by human beings because people want to see more beautiful things. Hence, flower is a symbol of human’s desire. Some powerful people have an inner desire to grow like a flower. The desire motivates us towards betterment. At the same time, however, desire can twist one’s personality and conscience. Some people believe that lust makes people grow, while some said that lust leads to decadence. I will not define it, as I believe the outcome is purely based on people's thoughts and behaviours.
PROJECT CONCEPT
According to my research, except for flowers, jade is the bearer of human desires, and it is the medium for human beings to reveal their inner desires and say prayers to the gods in ancient times. It has witnessed the growth of human desires from ancient times to the present. Therefore, I have added the element of jade in my design. Using the element of jade, I hope to present my design in the Chinese style. Desires come in many forms and can be about money, power, or even sex. Apart from showing what desire looks like and its unique charm, I also hope to bring a different feeling to everyone. It can be a positive pursuit of what you want, or it can be an unscrupulous move to achieve your goals.
