“Flower”, is a radical of Chinese Character, a common symbol in daily life and also Poon Kan Chi 's crucial creative elements.
Poon’s process of creating a series of flower paintings was started purely for personal attraction towards flowers. It later developed into an exploration of memories associated with the symbol “Flower”.
To Poon, flowers’ repetitive patterns and color collage are natural education of visual aesthetics and they are also senses of familiarity and traces for identity. Painting frame-like shapes on the canvas, they become entrances to audiences’ private spaces, to reminisce and ponder the uncertainty of personal identity.
草花頭，一個漢字部首，是草是花也是頭，是回歸日常生活的符號，也是潘柬芝創作的元素。
在繪畫花的過程中，潘柬芝由單純表達個人對花的喜愛，到發現聯繫著花的回憶，再從花領悟到自然視覺美，花，對她來說，不但是圖案與顏色的拼合，也是熟悉的安全感和個人身份的追溯。在作品上留下似框圖案，仿如帶給參觀者私人空間，想像回憶，體會個人身份的不確定性。
