Yunlin artist makes sculptures from plant seeds for charity｜Taiwan News

There’s an artist in Yunlin’s Huwei Township who uses seeds to make one-of-a-kind arrangements. She even founded her own workshop to promote the unique art form. Not only that, she also donates 100% of her proceeds to an orphanage and other charities to help those in need.

Each of these figures is made out of seeds and other organic materials. These unique works of art are the handiwork of an artist from Yunlin’s Huwei Township.

Don’t think of seeds scattered on the ground as a mess. You sometimes might find them gross. But after arranging them together, from it emerges a very different kind of pattern. You’d be pleasantly surprised.

The artist came across these seeds during volunteer activities. After developing an interest in it, she came up with her own style. She now has her own workshop, where people can come and try for themselves.

When auctioning them off, people would get in bidding wars over them. They thought they were beautiful. But I figured, if you do it yourself, it’s really therapeutic. It’s a therapeutic process. It’s more meaningful to make it yourself than just buy one.

Apart from organizing DIY activities, Liao also donates all of the proceeds from her sales to an orphanage and other organizations to help children with disabilities.

We’ll hold an auction every year. We’re honored to have the chance to participate. We were pleased to have the chance to do charity work. For these past two years, we’ve donated all of our proceeds to charity.

Making delightful arrangements out of seeds and donating the proceeds to charity is an act of kindness to help children in need. You could even say that these seeds are spreading the love.
