“In the beginning, all is without form and void. Subsequent to collision, interaction and convergence, order is created; form and cognition appeared. That’s how our story begins.
Seven individuals; seven entangled minds converged through clay and expressed in one exhibition.
Akin to many urbanites, we live with heavy workloads and pressure in everyday life. Pottery cleanses our souls; mends cracks of regrets left behind as we grow up; clears tangled thoughts; awakens the seed of creativity buried deep within us. It nourishes our lives.”

This delicate gold plated carving used to be a hat decoration. Until the Qing dynasty hat was seen as a status symbol, worn by only the Emperor and the high ranking officials, commoners are forbidden to wear hats and usual tie their hair with a piece of cloth. It was until the Qing dynasty that hats became an item for all, though their style and details are still well defined by the social levels. On its hundredth day birthday, a baby would be given a hat which is constructed a bit like the beach ball, bind by 6 equal wedges of cloth. The 6s represented the sky, the earth and the four directions. On this hat a decorative ornament would be place over the forehead, an ornament of good wishes; the eight immortals, longevity, luo han, etc.
This particular decoration has the theme of a Zhuang Yuan, the scholar who came top in the examination.
A wish for scholarly, prosperity, loyalty to the country, everything parents would wish for their child.
