A poem worked with the assistance of WeChat-based“花帮主识花”, in response to Jessye's artwork, In her lap bends clover, 2022.
A note from the poet:—
There is an app on WeChat that can help recognize the names of flowers while giving it a percentage of可信度(credibility), which I thought of applying on this photograph. What you see is a result of that, quite funny, too, in the sense that technology may not be reliable or credible when it comes to art. And I deliberately made the poem bilingual, too, to test the level of receptivity in this society known as multicultural without perhaps being multilingual.
— Ouyang Yu, 2023
