This suspended 3D piece features ceramic peony flowers, China's national flower, and flowing rivers representing Shanghai's rich trading history. The Chinese trade boats highlight the city's past as a major trading hub, while the rivers evoke personal memories of growing up by the water in my hometown of Shanghai.
