Flowering Phantasm
Plants and animals have various, special qualities. What if we would combine them? Imagine: a carnivorous plant that can change colour. Flowering Phantasm refers to these fantasy organisms.
You see an unknown object before you. Is it a flower? A carnivorous plant? An animal? Odom’s Flowering Phantasm is a flower-like object that responds to both sunlight and people. This idea is based on the relationship between man and nature. In other words: how do we feel about nature, how do we react to it and connect with it?
