Sweet Guard
24.5×21×18cm/copper and natural lacquer/2016
Design concept：
A longan tree stands next to the house in summer. Its sagging branches provide people with the bunches of sweet fruits. Parents and children enjoy the breeze under the tree. Also, they enjoy the sweetness and the satisfaction. I open the longan seed accidentally and find the inner shell covered with a layer of soft fibers. It’s like a bird’s nest made of hay, which brings a sense of security. It is likewise the longan tree holding and protecting us under it.
