Piñon and Cherry Blossoms
The Great Wall of China and the Rio Grande symbolize harmony through shared cultural landscapes, converging at the woman and horse in traditional regalia.

did you know there are cranes in albuquerque?

This mixed-media sculpture is a tribute to my Chinese heritage and the landscapes of New Mexico. The crane, a symbol of longevity and grace in Chinese culture, is crafted with a wooden neck, a red soup spoon for the crown, and a body formed from fragments of porcelain rice bowls, evoking the beauty of traditional Chinese ceramics. The legs, made of metal, stand atop a base resembling topographical lines, representing the expansive plains of New Mexico; where you’d never think to look for cranes.
