LIULI Crystal Fish and Lotus Leaves, Precious Harmony

Design Description:

Rendered in liuli crystal, leaves and fish become stars of the show, complimenting each other. Lotus leaves symbolize harmony, goldfish means abundance and good luck, this design creates an elegant movement of pure beauty in life. Two fish are presented in negative carving, but the polished surface on lotus leaves is used to show their movement and expression in the water. The process of sculpting is particularly complicated. The sculpture of the fish and the positioning need to be done prior to the prototype, then join two fish sculptures on the prototype with reiteration on the details of the junction being smooth and organic.

作品中的金魚兩兩相對，荷葉在傳統文化意象裡，常有“和美”的和諧之意。透過琉璃材質的透明表現，荷葉和金魚成為了一個舞臺上的瞬間定格，既有前景的演員，又有襯托的舞美場景。

金魚用陰刻呈現，但用荷葉的拋光面展現魚優游水中的姿態，工序雕塑時的技法工序特別複雜，用立體雕塑與定位後，再將石膏模鑲嵌到整體的原型。為了確保魚與荷葉呈現流暢的線條，需要反覆翻模圓形，確認整體雕塑細節忠於設計概念。
