About this art: My immediate response to the previous work En Primavera was to vocalise the birth of spring. But I felt like egg-flowers were encouraging me even more, "Bloom! We are the source of life! Paint us with your colorful magical life!" A bird was singing around my house gaily, suggesting an 8-count tune for solo jazz. In my work, Bloom!, I sang the bird’s tune, improvised on it, danced to it, and merged with the vocalise. I would like to thank the artist of En Primavera for allowing me to use them at the introduction vocalise. I hope you enjoy the video, Bloom!
