LIULI Crystal Flower, Orchid, Reflection of The Heart(Collector's Edition)

Reflection of The Heart(Collector's Edition) 

Constant through thousands of years,
Is this solo dance of serenity.
The light shone
Reflects upon the And becomes a pond.

心湖兰影(典藏版) 

千年不变的，
是幽静的独舞，
绽放的光，
映在心底，
成了一片湖。

Design Concept

This masterful rara avis stands out among others in the LIULI repertoire in that it combines the calligraphic artistry of Chang Yi and the finesse and vision of Loretta H. Yang.  The work comes from the classic collection titled, “The Flowers are Beautiful and the Moon is Full.”  Inscribed within a mirror-like pond in this piece are the cloudy and flowing words from Chang’s “The Pure Spring Reflects the Orchid.”  Resting at the brim of the reflection is the classical “gentleman” of Chinese literature, the orchid flower—said to be among the most fragrant in the world.  Its vibrancy and color contrast so well with the piece that the fragrance is almost palpable.  Add a splash of water to the basin in this sculpture to achieve the best play of light and atmosphere with this remarkable art piece.
