Overflow Of Beauty
New lotus flowers bear a refreshing coolness,
With turquoise waves and red blossoms,
Passionate promises are exchanged,
Silhouettes vow with soft whispers,
The gentle ripples glide tirelessly.
Hearts dance along with the lotus,
Joy knows no bounds,
A beautiful unity fills the space.
和美满堂
新荷沁清凉
碧波花红
情意长
形影双双低声诺
涟漪轻轻不知倦
心随荷舞
乐无边
和美满堂
Design Concept
In the carving of this piece, the details of lotus leaves are clearly visible, with variations in thickness and texture reflecting light and shadow. The lotus flowers, with their layered petals, are depicted just before blooming, with the thin and curled edges of the leaves creating a shimmering effect when illuminated, an unique collaboration between glass material and light. The piece also symbolises an understated expression of love; a pair of mandarin ducks, following each other closely, showcasing their different feather patterns according to their gender: the female with semi-circular chest feathers and the male with "sail feathers". The entire piece, centred on the lotus, conveys a poetic manifestation of serene life.
在这件作品的雕刻上,荷叶笔锋清晰可见,再以起伏、厚薄折射光影;幷蒂荷花,层层迭迭,尚在将开未开,荷叶的薄与卷边,透过光的照射,形成波光粼粼的效果,是琉璃这个材质与光‘合作’的独有表现。作品也象征爱意的表达清婉含蓄;一双鸳鸯,形影相随,依照生长习性,雌雄的羽毛表现各不相同:雌性胸前羽毛为半圆形,雄性羽毛为束状幷有“帆羽”。整件作品以“荷”为媒,承托起恬澹生活的诗意盎然。
