From Bowl to Being
五中四外

“Harmony flows in the embrace of growth, anchored by our deepest truths.
水流不息。”

The soft porcelain surface -
dreams, wishes and memories swimming in its curve.

As the current of time passes, five remain.
Four leap outwards, chasing the shimmer of waves;
One lingers, floating, watching.

Some carried forth as unspoken hopes,
others kept close as memory.

The delicate balance of harmony -
a cradle for becoming.

九鱼之中，五中四外，寓意愿望有留有往；
跃出的是未来，留下的是思念；
鱼不停游，愿不曾止。

Being in harmony with ourself is a lifelong dialogue between holding on and letting go. In becoming who we are, some parts of us leap forward into the unknown – whether it is in the form of new dreams, shedding old limitations, or growth - while others remain, anchoring us to our history and dreams. The balance is not about choosing one over the other, but about letting both shape us.
