Stage III — Bloom
Concept:

Bloom reflects the free-swimming medusa stage of the jellyfish life cycle.

This is the most visually expressive and emotionally expansive stage within the collection.

The pieces explore movement, openness, colour, and drifting atmospheric presence.

The use of vibrant enamel creates associations with blooming organisms suspended underwater.

Materials: Copper, Enamel, Pearls, Spray Paint, Silver Leaf

Enamel became material because of its relationship to translucency, colour layering, and light reflection. Liatris Yaxuan Bian was interested in creating low-saturation dreamlike colours inspired by the semi-transparent quality of jellyfish bodies.
