Phoenix is frequently used as the subject of the artist’s stone work. Phoenix is not only an auspicious divine bird in traditional Chinese culture, but also the symbol of motherhood and nature, or even the incarnation of mother image. The work presents a fledgling phoenix with simplified abstract technique so as to display the image of a lovely little phoenix and turns the Chinese oracle word “phoenix” into ornamentation. The look-up posture of the phoenix seems to accumulate energies for a take-off which becomes a self-projection of the artist and represents that every creation and challenge of his works are like newborn fledgling phoenix who is full of curiosity and passion for arts and eager to pursue it endlessly and grow confidently.
