The Other Side Of Water (Artist Series)
Ripple after ripple,
Stillness signifying an end.
Within the shimmering facade
Is proof that I exist
On the other side of the water.
在水的另一方( 艺术家系列 )
涟漪不止
竟是一种静默
纷纷波光潋滟中
澄明看见自己
在水的另一方。
Design Concept
One of the piece from "The Flowers Are Beutiful And The Moon Is Full" series, this artwork uses the imagery of full-blossomed flowers and circles to develop a special metaphor—interpreting the emotion of fulfillment and perfection through a concrete, magnificent form. The flower depicted is a Western narcissus. The name "narcissus" originates from Greek mythology, drawn from the story of Narcissus, a handsome youth who fell in love with his own reflection in the water. Anyone can be that narcissus gazing at their own reflection, entirely self-centered. The artwork uses layers of ripples, expressed through light and shadow, to mirror the narcissus. Inscribed at the base is the commentary text for "A Great Wish", symbolizing inner peace amidst turbulent waves, seeing oneself with a clear and serene vision, and ultimately letting go of everything in one's heart.
The lifelike crystal narcissus, contrasted against the abstract space of the crystal, pushes the artistic conception and poetic sentiment of Tang and Song poetry to its absolute peak.
Note: The calligraphy characters and "A Great Wish" commentary text at the base were inscribed by LIULI founding artist Mr Chang Yi: After quiet contemplation, all the turbulence in the heart becomes peaceful; through meditation, one lets go without contention or resentment.
花好月圆系列作品之一，作品以盛开的花朵与圆的意象，发展成一个特殊的隐喻，以具象、瑰丽的，诠释圆满美好的情感。作品上的花朵是西洋水仙花，水仙花之名，来自于希腊神话里，一个凝望自己水中倒影自恋的美少年-納西瑟斯 (Narcissus)。每个人都可以是那个凝望着自己倒影的水仙花，以自己为自我中心，作品以层层波纹，以光影表现涟漪，倒影水仙花，底部以“大愿” 说明文， 意喻在波澜之中，拥有平和，用清明的视野去看见自己，心里终将一切放下。
栩栩如生的琉璃水仙花对照琉璃的抽象空间，把唐宋诗词中的意境、诗情发挥到了极致。
备注：底部书法字，“大愿” 说明文是琉璃工房创办人张毅先生提笔：安静地凝视之后，心里一切的波澜平和，冥想，不争不怨的放下。
