Fragile_She likes white roses
"Her favorite flower is white rose, as she says, it is the flower for a wife.
Wearing the full body mirror suit, I held a bouquet of white roses, kneeling down, kissing the virtual image in the mirror who, like me, was also holding the roses, trying to reach for that intimacy again, amongst all the white roses in the background.
This piece is an installation, with real mirrors attached to the final print on the suits, mixing the real and the illusion. 99 fresh white roses will be placed in transparent glasses on a long table in front of the image.
As time passes, the flowers will gradually fall, dry or rot, but the flowers in the reflection will be blooming forever. This contradiction is like love itself, unpredictable, fleeting but also eternal." (Qian Ruya, 2020)
