Clitoria Ternatea
IDR -
The plant depicted in the drawing comes from the house yard, planted from seeds to flowering and trailing along the house fence. Observing this plant is quite straightforward as it can be seen directly, allowing for examination of its shape, size, and details. Similar to studying objects in creating still-life works, we observe the plant and transfer it onto a two-dimensional surface while prioritizing its structure. Subsequently, the object’s form is embellished according to each individual’s preference. Illustrated in a botanical style, this piece resembles a study of the flora around the house yard, ready to be shared with art enthusiasts.
