Bursting forth from the multifaceted textures of rugged terrain is a powder-crystal peony. Its soft yellow glow hides the nature of its remarkable resilience. Traditionally known to be delicate and demure, the peony surprises here with an air of sheer determination. In lieu of nature’s astounding resilience, this crystal glass sculpture captures a persistent peony weaving its tendrils into a mountain cliff. The artwork reflects the persistence necessary in daily life to blossom as beautifully as the softly glowing peony flower.
