Dragon Sculpture, Ambition of the Heavenly Dragon

Ambition of the Heavenly Dragon

Aboard the wind and clouds -
rise,
through the moon and stars,
ambition fills the universe.

Heaven and earth in place,
in the light of the sun and moon,
life flourishes
in great harmony.

云龙之志

乘风云
飞升
星月环绕
志, 充塞宇宙

天地位
日月明
万物生生
合于大和

Design Concept

The design of the flying dragon, paired with the gourd-shaped background and using a monochromatic color scheme, is a completely innovative design expression in the Liuli workshop. The phrase "divine dragon brings blessings and fortune" is a metaphor for the beautiful world of "blessings and fortune," representing the bright prospects of the dragon's ambition. 

飞龙的造型，搭配葫蘆形狀的背景，运用单一色彩，在琉璃工房這完全是展新的设计表现。曲颈昂首，腾跃於空中的飞龙，生动形象、栩栩如生，艺术家在作品中，再次完美展现了「龙」在中国文化中威严庄重的形象。「葫芦」常被人们视为可以趨吉避凶、延寿消災的吉祥物，本件作品以正气凜然的龙，浮雕腾飞於祥云之上，大世界的背景运用葫芦造型设计，「神龙送褔祿」借喻“福祿”的美好世界代表，是云龙志向的美好展望。特別採用单一色系的紫色，展现「紫气东来」优雅气势与吉祥寓意。
