In its simplest form, Sange (散華) refers to the scattering or dispersing of flower petals in awe and admiration. British poet William Blake’s popular poem “To see a World in a Grain of Sand and a Heaven in a Wild Flower” sees just a single flower as a tiny reflection of much greater beauty. Taken together, these references are reminders of how floral blossoms or fallen leaves depict the beauty of life. The exhibition Sange: Scattered Flowers flows from this theme.
