The Red Daisy in the Dark | JOiiCHEW Online Curation
The word daisy originates from the Old English dægeseage — the "day’s eye." Following the rhythm of light, they open and close, standing as a worldly symbol of innocence and hope. This curation, however, focuses on those forms of life that refuse to close in the darkness. They navigate the liminal spaces between collapse and rebirth, bondage and freedom, fragility and madness. When the light of hope as defined by the world fades, they bloom with a defiant, crimson hue. As the "day’s eye" shuts, the red daisy begins its journey to find its own light within the cracks.

Those irreversible slices of life
Recently, in a novel I've come to love, I found myself grasping the weight of life's slices. In the story, there is a wicked sorcerer who freezes people in the instant just before tragedy strikes—suspending everything, sealing it into a crystal ball, and building an entire museum from these frozen moments. And isn't film, in its own way, just as cruel? As viewers, we are little more than instruments for collecting tissue slices—slipping into a character's world for a single fleeting moment, wandering through it in passing, only to return, in the blink of an eye, to the reality that is our own.
