Pale Flower III

The "Pale Flower" series pays tribute to Luciano Berio's "Sequenza", with each piece written for a specific solo instrument. The entire series carries a particular humanistic meaning: flowers are meant to be vibrant. "Pale" flowers are abnormal, representing those who cannot voice their suffering or are oppressed due to cultural or social reasons. "Pale Flower III" is inspired by scenes from democratic movements. The piece shapes different crowds and states via various dense textures. This composition is not merely a realistic depiction of a gathering. Still, it attempts to capture its sensory significance, aiming to remain in people's memories as a form of commemoration and inspiration.
