Citygate Outlets is joining hands with local artist Jennifer Hung to bring a breathtaking Chinese New Year decoration to the mall. The “Wings in Blossom” garden draws inspiration from Hung’s childhood passion for paper art and her dedication to promoting sustainability in the craft. For the display, Hung created a floral installation that reflects the beauty of the natural world. Each of the eight installations is handcrafted from recycled paper, Japanese washi, cotton paper, and more. Then, they are meticulously cut out, glued, and assembled into different parts of the flowers. The process took three weeks to come together! Each flower carries its own blessing such as prosperity and wealth for the peony and fulfilment and happiness for the orchid.
