This record is illustrated with an unaltered still extracted from the surviving video at its original frame resolution. It is a video frame, not a separate original photograph. The complete source video remains preserved in the local artist archive.

Artist's original text (angie-231): 在海边捡到它的时候就感觉放在手上好像溃烂出来的花 很美 还好做出来的效果挺满意的 不然会让人遗憾这么美的材料会在自己手中

English translation: When I found it by the sea, it felt as if a flower had rotted out onto my hand. It was beautiful. I'm glad the finished result turned out well; otherwise, it would have been a pity to have such beautiful material pass through my hands
