Crystal Flower, Hibiscus Bloom, Happiness in Bloom

The Collection: Flower Sculptures, A Peaceful Existence

Design Concept:

The crystal hibiscus flower sculpted here possesses an unique personality. Achieved through the techinique of pate-de-verre and twice-firing, this design is one of the most challenging pieces because the petals are large and layered, and each step in the process needs extra efforts to secure. For example, in the refining wax form, every micro inch and subtlety plays its own role in the grand scheme of beauty and they require tens of injection points for liuli ingredients for exact color placement. Because the hibiscus flower is one of only a few that bloom in late fall—when many flowers wilt—the Chinese have long since admired the survivor for its conviction.  As if guided by the chilling autumn draft, the petals of this flower remain uplifted—fearlessly radiating its colors when all others have faded.  And for that, the glass hibiscus flower immortalizes the flower’s beauty, a quality of resilience and courage. View the self through flowers, view the world through a vase. Through the noble hibiscus, we are shown the will of our convictions. 

概念设计说明:

水晶琉璃芙蓉，脱蜡铸造技法手工制成，花瓣层叠构成与定色，繁复细緻的造型，成为脱腊制模与翻模上最大的挑战。花瓣既大又多，使得包覆硅胶膜的时候，极讲究厚度与深度，尚需加上一层「卡膜」，预防花瓣断裂，再依花瓣的数量，一朵朵制模，可达十几层。拆模时更得仔细，力量稍大，就可能完全毁坏，得重头开始，修腊也因为花瓣数量太多，原料注口达几十个，极为耗费工。木芙蓉盛开于十月至一月，这时百花凋谢，它却傲霜绽放，故白居易诗曰：「莫怕秋无伴愁物，水莲花尽木莲开」，因此它的花语有高洁之士、纯洁之意，因其层叠的硕大花瓣与缤纷色彩，有丰硕圆满与美好的祝愿，作品将盛满的花瓣以写意的方式，绽放如风起摇曳，使形态艳丽可人。以花观己，以瓶观世界，从作品芙蓉的高洁，看见原则的坚定。

* Note: As the art pieces are individually hand-made, the color and dimensions will vary slightly.
