The choice of blue shades reflects the plant’s symbolic qualities of transformation and resilience, with each hue representing different facets of its essence. The cool tones of blue convey a sense of tranquility and depth, inviting viewers to experience the ti plant not just as a living entity but as a source of peaceful contemplation.

In this painting, the usual vibrant colors of the ti plant are subdued to highlight its form and texture in a new light. The use of oil paint enhances the rich, layered quality of the blue tones, capturing the subtle variations and nuances of the plant’s leaves. This approach creates a soothing and dreamlike atmosphere, allowing the ti plant to emerge as a symbol of quiet strength and serene beauty.

Overall, the painting serves as a meditative exploration of how nature can be transformed through artistic vision, encouraging viewers to see familiar subjects from a fresh and contemplative perspective.
