Flower Demon
This is a collaborated piece with Designer QiLe. Flower demons are similar to sirens and evil fairies; the enchanters draw people with their flashy looks and charisma. In "Strange Tales of Liaozhai", the author emphasizes the foundational elements of the attitudes behind the flower demons’ physical appearances. They not only seduce. While creating restless and endless thoughts, they are also addictive. When indulging obsessions with flower demons, people also need to be on guard. In a way, flower demons are neither good nor evil. By adding flawed aesthetic elements in our design and shoot, we are trying to deliver the restlessness and illusion, lust and violence at the same time through the image that we create.
