Thought
“We often like to make our own interpretations of an artwork. However, for this artwork, I chose a turtle as a living entity in form of a vessel (plate) containing
the universe while it meditates. The mandala is a symbol of the universe and is often used as a tool to meditate to find oneself. The use of patinated brass
depicts the decades lived by the creature adding to its beauty of wisdom. At the same time, one also appreciates the age-old craft of hand-engraved metal
wares which require a high level of fineness, precision, and patience to cut through the metal creating brilliant ornated designs.”
