Concept description

For the subject, I chose the Chinese character "藏" (Tibet), and then extended it to the important cultural symbol of Tibetan culture - the Galsang flower. The word "Galsang" means good times or happiness in Tibetan so Galsang flowers often appear in Tibetan legends, art, music and poetry to express an optimistic attitude towards life and the future. However, Galsang flower is not a specific type of flower, and all kinds of brightly colored or beautiful flowers may be considered Galsang flowers, so I chose the four most representative flowers for my creation, including Dasiphora fruticosa, Cosmos, Callistephus and Tartarian aster. I incorporated elements of Western Art Nouveau style into the pattern, using simple lines to create the feeling of being surrounded by flowers. The composition concept incorporates Tibetan-style ornaments: earrings, bracelets, headdresses and necklaces (the order corresponds to the flowers mentioned above), as if collecting various flowers in a beautiful garden and weaving them into ornaments.
