Collector Edition-Crystal Flower, Iris, A Chinese Liuli Flower, Arising through Contentment

Design Concept:

In ancient Greece, the goddess Iris acted as a messenger from the Elysian Fields, using rainbows as her means of transportation. Hence, the dazzling rainbow-like iris flower. The flower sculpture seen here has two starkly contrasting parts - the flower and the leaf - both crafted and fired individually before being refired together. Working in tandem, the sharp features of the leaf show willful determination, while the vibrant colors of the flower reveal a softer radiance. The quality of the iris lies in its contrasting, yet deeply complementary personalities. While the iris is already inherently pretty, it possesses remarkable determination, making it more beautiful.

設計概念說明：

在古希臘，女神Iris是從埃利西昂田園帶來消息的使者，她利用彩虹作為她的交通工具。因此，出現了耀眼的彩虹般的鳶尾花。這裡展示的花雕塑有兩個鮮明對比的部分——花和葉子，都是單獨製作和燒製後再一起復燒。鳶尾的葉似劍，花似蝶；作品保留了植物的肌理，放大了植物的細節，也放大了葉與花因氣質迥然而形成的張力：葉如潮湧動，躍起，花在浪頭綻放，與葉尖對峙，鋒利與溫柔兩相對照，讓靜物甦醒，生命的戲劇，上演新的一幕。花與葉，剛柔並濟的意志，歸於圓融，飛舞，向著自由與光明。鳶尾花的品質在於它對比鮮明，但深度互補的個性。雖然鳶尾花本身已經美麗動人，但它擁有非凡的決心，因此更加美麗。
