凌宗湧的花藝生涯，在他發現原來花陪伴生命每一個階段的那刻開始，他選擇不看漂亮的東西，而是持續尋找著事物真實的一面、萬物存在的邏輯。這次他試著回答許多人持續存在的疑問：台灣究竟美不美? 他認為，其實這個答案並不需要由別人來回答，因為台灣的美就在我們樸實的生活中，只要你有一雙看得見美麗的眼睛。 Known for his floral design work for Hangzhou Fuchun Resort, floral designer, Alfie Lin's artistic style takes on the concept of minimalism and elegance. In 1998, Alfie founded “CNFlower” and has since established a living style which emphasizes on human feelings towards nature. The name “CN” originates from a Xinjiang girl’s name “Clear-Nule”, meaning “the warm sunlight”. To him, flower does not only provide a visual sense of beauty, but also delivers a profound emotional experience. His highly soulful characteristic of aesthetic pursuit into a lifestyle fashion is not only popular amongst the general public, but is also highly acclaimed in the industry. 凌宗湧以杭州富春山居花藝作品聞名，他的花藝美學擅長極簡、優雅、清新的設計風格，一如他所創立的CN Flower，品牌名稱意指「Clear-Nule」，代表新疆女孩的名字，取其「溫暖的太陽」之意，因為對他來說，花除了帶來視覺美感的功用外，還多了一層傳遞情感的溫暖寓意，這種追求單純清新、將花藝帶入生活、並重視心靈感受的美學風格，不但受到市場好評，更奠定其花藝大師的地位。 This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
