Aung San Suu Kyi Portrait with 2000 white flowers and red dye by Red Hong Yi

More photos and info of this project on my blog, HERE:
www.ohiseered.c....
I've created a portrait of Aung San Suu Kyi with 2000 white carnations and 5 kilos of red dye to create her portrait. I cannot think of a more inspiring person alive than Aung San Suu Kyi, nor a more moving love story.
I've used flowers to represent her because...well, have you noticed she's ALWAYS seen with flowers in her hair? Apparently, her father, General Aung San, used to tie flowers to ASSK's hair when she was a child, before he was assassinated. That could be a way of remembering him, and to show her femininity under all that stress and chaos she went through. Red represents love, passion, sacrifice and blood. This is the first time I'm using live objects - flowers - for my project...flowers, like humans, eventually die. This piece celebrates this little time we have here on earth called life.

i love all your portraits... but you seriously deserved an epic self portrait... an epic selfie.. lolz.

[@PecoMyint]

That is quite creative and thoughtful way of honoring her.

[@KerriHo]

God has truly gifted you! Thanks for taking the time to pour into your art and sharing it with the world. Kerri =)

[@JohnSLyu]

You have so many cool ideas that I wish had originated in my head instead of yours :)

[@FatemasArtShow]

Your work is so amazing!!!!. Love it! Weldone

[@stefanielee1207]

Such an amazing art work video that I've been watching for more than 5 times. Plan to do it myself for BF's birthday, would you share some tips&trick to get the same (or at least 80% similar) result as yours? 😄🙏 Such as tips to pick the right kind flower & determine the amount of it, to get the vivid color shade, etc

[@TheGRIMFILM]

just saw your youtube channel.... crazyyyy. Added to our featured channels tab XD

[@watev26789]

I bet you made a shit load of money. your art is really priceless. The truth is that I've never been so amazed about art and I always hated it but you're so different and unique.

[@phothawda2276]

Thanks from Myanmar :)

[@SuperSweetMarika]

You are a very special artist, your talent and your inspirations are amazing.

[@fttsen]

Holly.. this is amazing.. you always seem to find a way to surprise us all with how you present your art work... you made us all proud to be Sabahan.. XD

[@nadiad7]

I think using a dropper and precisely measuring the gradations of food dye volumes may also allow you to obtain a wider range of shades. That would be pretty interesting to experiment with. Though I am sure with time the flowers absorb the bulk of the food dyes color and level out to about one shade. unless perhaps the flowers are removed at the ideal shades.

[@TheHappyRocket]

That turned out really nicely! 8-bit-style art with carnations and dye. Who'd have thought? ;)

[@izuafibrahim8936]
