Under the theme "You, Will Bloom Again as a Flower," this exhibition is composed of four themes: ▲Chaos ▲Consolation ▲Overcoming ▲Revival, showcasing a total of 80 wildflower photographs in the form of photo essays.

The foundation plans to donate wildflower photo books and framed photographs to inmates nationwide with the funds raised through this exhibition.

A foundation official said, "We wanted to convey encouragement and comfort in life through the strong vitality of wildflowers that endure the cold winter and finally bloom," adding, "We hope this exhibition will provide new hope that supports positive change and social reintegration, and also help society view inmates not merely as subjects of punishment but as members of the community."

He has held nine solo exhibitions focused on flowers, including 'Flowers, Fragrance and Smile' (2006), 'Flower Heart, Shaking Me' (2007), 'Hope, Opening in the Flower Light' (2009), 'World, I Call You a Flower' (2011), 'Winding, Mom Blooms as a Flower' (2013), 'Flower Clock Turns with the Wind' (2015), 'This Spring, Bright Flower Fever' (2017), 'You, Will Bloom Again as a Flower' (2019), and 'Flower, That Dazzling Shout' (2023).
