“Propitious Abundance” is one of LIULI artists’ take on a classic five-grain motif in Chinese art and literature. The collection, “Abundance,” alludes to the bountifulness of harvests in the new season. The pea is has been regarded as a symbol of fertility and fortune in offspring, with its seeds cozily incubated in its pod. The “grain” (or legume) here portrayed is crafted with higher transparency, invoking a sense of looking within. It reflects the admiration we have for the act of nurturing and caring.
