Silent Fireworks

The mezzotint technique, known for its deep, rich play of light and shadow, captivated YANG Chung-Ming and inspired him to create Silent Fireworks. In this piece, the Spicate Artocarpus plant blooms quietly in the midnight darkness, only to wither by dawn. This cycle mirrors the mezzotint process, with the plant's nocturnal beauty resembling a silent firework, capturing the fleeting passage of life.
