Cho Min-Chu (Taiwan) represents the poetry of plants in a very material, sensual way, with saturated colors and dense texture. In this real size work she underlines the natural beauty of the cactus, the use of colors with vivid contrasts almost enable us to perceive the climate of this succulent plant. “When I went to Africa to travel I saw this cactus and I was impressed but the strength of the plant resisting the climate, when I returned to Taiwan I painted this artwork” the artist continued “I wish my heart is as brave and steady as this plant”.

卓明珠（臺灣）使用非常物質、感性的方式，結合飽和色彩與緻密的質地來表現植物的詩意。在這幅等尺寸作品中，她強調了仙人掌的自然之美，運用鮮明對比的顏色讓人幾乎得以感受到這種多肉植物所面臨的氣候。「當我去非洲旅遊時看到這種仙人掌，我對他抵禦氣候的韌性留下深刻印象，回臺後便創作這件作品」，她接著說道「我希望我的心能跟這種植物一樣勇敢又堅定」。
