Freedom is the soil in which lilies bloom. 先有自由土壤，百合才能盛放。

This artwork commemorates the 228 Incident of 1947 and subsequent White Terror, pivotal moments that shaped Taiwan's long struggle for democracy. The lily, a symbol of freedom, represents the resilient hope of the Taiwanese people, who, despite decades of oppression, forged a vibrant and participatory democracy.

The digital aesthetic reflects the way memories of the past are preserved and reinterpreted in the digital age, while the 'fighting' spirit embodies the passionate engagement of citizens in shaping our nation's future.

This piece honors the sacrifices made in the pursuit of freedom and justice, reminding us that democracy is a dynamic process, born from struggle and sustained by the unwavering commitment of its people.
