Eleng Luluan (Taiwan 1968) is an aboriginal artist from Rukai tribe. Despite a life around Taiwan creating art, her artistic practice still carries connection to the aboriginal community, but in a universal way. These flowers falling are the symbol of sorrow in life. This work was created after a damaging typhoon in south Taiwan. Fragility embodied in these semitransparent petals is turned into a poetic moment. The work is installed falling from the ceiling and it is in dialogue with the surrounding flowers.

安聖惠（峨冷．魯魯安）（1968年生於臺灣）是魯凱族原住民藝術家。儘管在臺灣各地創作，她的藝術實踐仍與原民社群保持連結，並且更具普遍性。這些落下的花朵象徵著生命中的悲哀。這件作品創作於南台灣某次嚴重風災侵襲之後。半透明的花瓣體現了脆弱性，並且轉化為詩意的瞬間。作品自天花板垂吊安裝，與周遭的花朵正在對話。
