Tulip breaking, and the way how we know the sea.
Yvonne Yu
My inspiration comes from the tulips. Right, the tulips shipped to my hometown, in a local park, with crowds coming from the city in the spring. For only 8 weeks, then the tulips will be gone. Living in an inland city, people do not know the sea well. We know the sea from our food, from the zoo, and maybe from the shopping apps. On those apps, for example, we have human-made fishes, shrimps, and crabs, in blue shades, lovely. But why TULIPS? When the Tulip Mania happened centuries ago in The Netherlands, there were also marine trades, and that is why we see tulips here in Nanjing, China...Do not forget the history of the sea, the economic bubble, and how we connect — by the sea.
