Design Concept:

In ancient Greek mythology, the goddess Iris served as a messenger between the mortal world and the Elysian Fields, traveling along the arc of a rainbow. It is from her that the radiant iris flower takes its name—a bloom as dazzling and ethereal as the messenger herself. This crystal sculpture captures that spirit through the interplay of two boldly contrasting elements: the flower and the leaf. Each is individually crafted and fired at precise temperatures, then masterfully fused in a final kiln firing. The sharp, angular lines of the leaf convey resolve and strength, while the layered colors of the blossom radiate softness, beauty, and light. It is in this union of opposites—strength and grace, clarity and emotion—that the essence of the iris is fully revealed. Though naturally beautiful, it is the flower’s underlying resilience that makes it truly radiant. As a work of art, this piece embodies love, light, and the enduring goodness that shines through contrast and harmony.

A Chinese LIULI Flower collection is a poetic reflection of Loretta H. Yang’s inner world, where each bloom represents a moment in her life and spiritual journey. Using the delicate and demanding pâte-de-verre technique, she crafts large-scale glass flowers that blur the line between reality and imagination—expressing vulnerability, compassion, and strength through a fragile medium. The flowers are formed in multiple parts and joined through complex firing methods, ensuring seamless beauty from every angle. Rich in layered colors inspired by ink landscapes, each piece captures the rhythm and soul of nature. Rooted in Eastern philosophy and organic design, the collection is not just an homage to botanical form but a profound meditation on life, emotion, and the eternal.
