◎ Title: "Leaf of Love Series" – Bodhi Leaf Bookmark/Charm ◎ Material: Red Copper, Natural Cashew Lacquer ◎ Dimensions: 5 x 8 cm ◎ Artist: Hsiao-Shan Huang ◆ Bodhi Leaf Symbolism ◆ Sincere and upright, fostering wisdom Pure heart, growing old together Magnanimous and compassionate Discerning good from evil, awakening to truth Originally there is no tree, nor stand of a bright mirror, originally there is not a single thing, where could dust alight? Inspired by nature, the "Leaf of Love Series" uses various leaves as models. The artist meticulously hand-hammers each vein into the metal. Then, in a dust-free environment, natural cashew lacquer is applied. With only one coat per day, waiting for complete drying before the next, this process is repeated over five times. This intricate and time-consuming technique requires 5-6 working days to complete. Through these creations, the artist hopes to inspire everyone to observe the world around them more closely. From humble roadside flowers to fallen leaves, all living things express life, silently or audibly, in their own way. Using the enduring and resilient nature of red copper, the artist transforms and preserves ephemeral leaves, symbolizing the idea that while the physical form may fade, the spirit and soul endure eternally.
