Colorful felt flowers have been “planted” at various street corners throughout Guangzhou, Guangdong Province by young local sculptor Luo Shengtian. Starting as a graduation project, his efforts have now become a group activity in both China and Europe for people with one goal in mind: using art to better their local communities.
