Crystal Sculpture, Hulu Gourd, "Harmonious World"

Design Concept

One part reality, one part illusion - that is the dichotomy of yin and yang. This design features two hulu gourds - one positive, one negative. Through the hulu in negative on the right, the audience can see the world in front of them. Like the five senses, the liuli streams flow in and out of us, creating change. Carved cleverly into the base of the negative hulu, orchids bloom, nourished by spring rain. The hulu in positive on the left features upward rising air bubbles, conveying the vitality of life; it is solid yet clear and lucid. Two hulus, positive and negative, coexist in harmony. The design conveys Liuligongfang’s insistence on moving with kindness in a complementary coexistence, a philosophy carried through every thought, action, and design. It makes an ideal gift for a loved one, business partner, close friend, or elder. It conveys an elevated elegance that is sure to be appreciated.
