Plum Blossom Necklace & Brooch 01

Linda Wang • Beijing • China

300 • Antique porcelain, fine jewellery handmade sterling silver blue and white plum blossom flower necklace.

1.8 x 5.3 cm

For this creation, I use Porcelain selected from the Kangxi period of the Qing dynasty (1661AD -1722AD)I was inspired by traditional musical instrument chinese lute(Normally we call it Pipa).The pipa is one of the most popular Chinese instruments and has been played for almost two thousand years in China. Several related instruments in East and Southeast Asia are derived from the pipa.Early literary tradition in China, for example in a 3rd-century description by Fu Xuan, Ode to Pipa, associates the Han pipa with the northern frontier, Princess Liu Xijun, and Wang Zhaojun, who were married to nomad rulers of the Wusun and Xiongnu peoples in what is now Mongolia and northern Xinjiang respectively. Wang Zhaojun in particular is frequently referenced in later literary works and lyrics (although her story is often conflated with other women including Liu Xijun),as well as in music pieces such as Zhaojun's Lament (昭君怨), and in paintings where she is often depicted holding a pipa.There are many references to pipa in Tang literary works, for example, in A Music Conservatory Miscellany Duan Anjie related many anecdotes associated with pipa. The pipa is mentioned frequently in Tang Dynasty poetry, where it is often praised for its refinement and delicacy of tone, with poems dedicated to well-known players describing their performances. A famous poem by Bai Juyi's Pipa xing (琵琶行), contains a description of a pipa performance during a chance encounter with a female pipa player on the Yangtze River.The pattern of the piece is plum blossom flower.We select only the choicest piece for Pipa pendant.The silver part was made by hand delicately.“The scent of plum blossoms comes from surviving the bitter cold.”Nearly every Chinese literator has left some laudatory lines or paintings on plum blossom. In their opinions, plum blossom does not crowd the spring time with all the other flowers to catch people’s attention but enjoys its own efflorescence lonely in the winter. In traditional Chinese culture, plum blossom becomes a symbol of pride, noble self-esteem, and perseverance.This necklace&brooch is beautifully crafted from antique fragments of porcelain from the period and is of heirloom quality.Each piece is completely unique and celebrates the ancient artists who crafted and hand-painted such elegant quality.Finding complete examples of their work is extremely rare, so they are not only valued as pieces of jewelry but also as a valuable piece of art.The originality of each example underlines it's classic, timeless appeal and makes a wonderful statement of excellence.The perfect addition to your own personal collection or a precious gift for family members, friends and business partners.The pendant is presented on a hallmarked silver chain and comes along with an identity card, a presentation purse, a silver polishing cloth and a nice brocade box.This item is handmade from antique porcelain, and it's small imperfections are part of the beauty of working with these original materials. The chain is S925 International sterling silver.We value your thoughts and feelings and love to hear from you all, so please do not hesitate to get in touch!

Edition 2 / 12

100 x 66 cm

The way we live the city daily influences in how we stand in the world, how we think and act politically within it. The appearance of gated communities on the outskirts of the Buenos Aires constitutes an urban phenomenon of great relevance in last decades. I photograph their walls as geographic landforms. Frontiers that separate private properties and ranks of neighbours that roughly alter the urban landscape and rules radically. Though walls express themselves in different typologies leaving traces of what they hide or expose, patterns emerge in the uniformity where everything is alike in its differences. From which side I stand, the way of perceiving the world changes through a play of realities.Walking through the outside it feels the quiet friction of the inflicted boundary, considering not only the causes that gave origin to it, but also the consequences in terms of the social fabric, and I wonder how far we are prisoners of our own beliefs.I remark the interaction between the wall and the context through a mirror that reflects what remains outside, searching for an interpretation that goes beyond what we behold. The mirror contains the other dimension, which the wall conceals.
