I never intended to sell this piece. To me, this flower is not just a drawing but something I had long dreamed of, my own flower. Just as Warhol, Van Gogh, Murakami, Katz, and Hockney each left behind thier flowers, I too wanted to have one that bloomed in my own way. After countless trials, I finally completed it on July 2, 2023. Since then, I have continued to draw flowers. Many asked when I would mint them, but this work was never for sale. It was an exploration and a joy created only for myself. Over time, I began to see these flowers as a story. That story will become my first 1/1/x collection, to be revealed next year or the year after. When the chance came to join AOTM's BOUQUET drop, I decided to release this piece that has been with me for so long. I once promised not to sell it, but I believe that once it finds a collector's hands, I will carry even greater sincerity and responsibility into completing the collection. Piexel Flower #0 holds a meaning deep enough to stand as 1/1 its own. Like autumn leaves riding the wind into new spaces, I hope this flower also finds its way onto the blockchain and into someone's collection, where it can bloom even more beautifully🌷
