Crystal Flower, Spring of The Houseleek

Design Concept:

This highly limited art piece by Loretta H. Yang reveals beneath a pond-like reflection scripture from the infamous Heart Sutra. Through the refraction of light and shadow, a pool of clarity is revealed, resulting in enlightenment. See through all to let go of distracting thoughts. The depicted plant is the houseleek, a perennial succulent and what Buddhists call a “thousand leaved lotus”. With every fallen leaf, a rosette forms. This means “to change past wisdoms”, the metaphorical transformation of one’s weaknesses into lotuses.
