Melting World-Iris-watercolor, hot glue, 33x24cm, 熔化中的世界-愛麗絲, 水彩、熱熔膠

Inspired by global warming, the painting portrays a melting iris flower to as a metaphor for a world in dissolution, facing extinction. In Greek mythology, Iris is the goddess of the rainbow and serves as a messenger between gods and mortals, guiding virtuous souls to the celestial realm through the rainbow bridge. The melting Iris symbolizes the souls of all things impacted by worldly trials. Yet, those who hold goodwill can ultimately find their way back to the heavenly realm through love and virtue.

靈感來自全球暖化，透過熔化中的鳶尾花來表現一切都在熔化中，世間萬物也在熔化，逐步走向消亡。鳶尾花，英文名iris為希臘語“彩虹”之意，俗稱為“愛麗絲”。愛麗絲在希臘神話中是彩虹女神，她是眾神與凡間的使者，主要任務在於將善良人死後的靈魂，經由天地間的彩虹橋攜回天國。熔化中的愛麗絲象徵萬物的靈魂雖然都受世間紛擾而在熔化，但只有心存善念，最終都能帶著愛與善返回天國。查詢或購買請電郵info@1874artgallery.com。
