The Ephemeral Bloom

About the Work

The Ephemeral Bloom is a dynamic, living installation that explores the profound and cyclical nature of existence. Displayed on the screen is a digital garden, a space where vibrant, geometric flowers emerge from nothingness, flourish in a silent dance of color and light, and gracefully surrender their form in a cascade of falling petals. This is not a static image, but a perpetual, self-renewing performance.

The artwork operates on an autonomous loop, a digital ecosystem with its own sense of time. Once the garden reaches its peak - a moment of collective, radiant beauty, a period of quiet contemplation follows. Then, a carefully choreographed sequence of decay begins. Flower by flower, wave by wave, the garden deconstructs itself, its petals carried away by an unseen breeze. This act of wilting is not presented as an end, but as a necessary and beautiful transition. From the quiet emptiness that follows, a new garden is born, ensuring the cycle of life, death, and rebirth continues indefinitely.

Artist's Statement

"In our pursuit of permanence, we often forget that the most profound beauty is found in the fleeting moment. A flower's peak bloom is beautiful precisely because we know it will not last. This work seeks to capture that transient beauty. Each cycle is a reminder that every ending is also a new beginning, that decay is not a failure but a vital part of renewal. The digital canvas allows us to witness this universal truth unfold in an endless, hypnotic loop, inviting a moment of reflection on the impermanent, yet ever-renewing, world we inhabit - Jimmy Jangles"
