One afternoon, beneath her studio in Hong Kong, she found the orchid itself in bloom. Its color stopped her; its poised, unhurried form held her there. From that encounter, this piece was born.

In Eastern aesthetics, the orchid stands among the Four Gentlemen, honored for a nobility that asks for no attention, a grace that simply endures.
