Crystal Animal, Mice, Mouse, Year of the Rat, My Purposeful Future

Design Concept:

This crystal art piece depicts the first of the Chinese zodiac animals poised confidently atop a brilliantly multicolored and richly symbolic ear of corn. The design is endearing, and it also alludes to the cultural significance of the rat zodiac. The rat is the first zodiac animal of the cycle, making it a natural leader and pioneer. According to legend, it is also the animal responsible for sharing the harvest of five crucial grains with humans. The corn symbolizes harvest and abundance.

設計概念說明：

小鼠雄赳赳氣昂昂的站上山頂，目眺遠方，一種領先者的姿態不言而喻。粒粒而上的玉米，是一步步向上的追求，最終因著(努力、屹立、勇氣…)站上巔峰，笑看風雲，
每一步，都算數。 民俗裏認為鼠是「財神」，很大的理由是因為鼠能送來穀物，使食物充足，在食物匱乏的時代，有源源的糧食，就是最大的富足。所以除了錢幣、牡丹等富貴元素外，以玉米進行設計，粒粒圓潤碩滿，寓意源源的食物，滾滾的財富。
