CEO Shen Ching-jung has devoted herself to public welfare for many years, serving as both the Foundation's Chief Executive Officer and a Director; though busy with affairs, she has never forgotten her original devotion to creation. She has traveled the world many times, using watercolor and oil painting to record what she has seen and felt along her journeys, expressing her love of nature through delicate brushwork and portraying the tranquility and distant serenity of landscapes in soft tones. With "first intention" as its core, this exhibition presents works on the themes of flowers and landscapes, inviting viewers to enter her field of vision and feel the sincere emotion of encountering the world along the way.

Since its establishment in 2004, the FLOMO Education Foundation has continued to deepen its work in education and the promotion of arts and culture. Last year it collaborated with the Tainan City Cultural Affairs Bureau on "The First Art Class for the Children of Taijiang," bringing children closer to art and inspiring their creativity. Teachers and students from Kang Chiao Kindergarten were also specially invited to this opening, demonstrating the Foundation's ongoing efforts to root education and awaken art.

The public is sincerely invited to step into the Taijiang Cultural Center and, amid the interplay of light and art, to rediscover the purest beauty of life.
