Although the opium poppy is used in the production of the drug opium, it can relieve patients from pain and suffering. Therefore Hsu imagined above the skies of China, there may exist the largest opium flower in the universe, where fairies relax and play the flute.This piece combines the classical painting technique of Chinese landscaping,combined with elements of imagination and fantasy, using different techniques to create a single image. This shattered the concept of “single image, single space”, and depicts a world without suffering, an untarnished world.

罌粟雖是製造麻藥的毒花,但有時卻讓病人可從劇痛中解脫,此作為畫家想像在中國山水之天空上,可能有宇宙上最大的紅花,裡面有仙女吹笛遊玩。以油畫肌理表現東方精神,結合幻想、夢幻的元素,將不同視野同時呈現一個畫面,打破單一畫面單一空間的概念,表現從無痛苦的天空世界看清淨的下界山水。
