collection one The theme of collection one is ‘flower symbolism’. Each flower has their own symbolism like flower language. I choose five different symbolism flower to be the primary idea – the meaning of yulan is happiness and wonderful life; plum blossom as ringleader of flowers that is elegant and lofty represent; peony as the king of flowers that means wealth and auspicious; the symbolism of wisteria which stands for eternal or forever; and green Datura as a special flower in Buddhism represent for hope. It has a common idea and technique from Chinese traditional painting, which used water and ink painting to draw texture for background. Nevertheless, it will use watercolour for designing instead of Chinese painting’s pigments. It is for contemporary design, so they used contemporary artists or designers’ composition, and also added some modern patterns or styles for motif creation.
