Flowers are one of the main themes in Artist Loretta Yang's glass creations. At the exhibition "A CHINESE LIULI FLOWER: An Exhibition of Contemporary Glass Art," the vitality of the flowers, in the unique luster and colors of glass, transforms into a visually romantic and poetic experience, leading you into the Artist's dream garden.

For Loretta Yang, the art of glass flower creation has always been a life study. The Artist's profound reflection on life: each flower is an inquiry into life itself. A fleeting moment brings forth an eternal beauty, gentle and subtle, brewing a tenacious bloom. Such is the way with flowers, and so it is with life; each flower embodies a philosophy of life in the universe.

These large-scale glass flower sculptures have actually transcended the visual metaphors that are prevalent in Chinese culture and the entire East Asian cultural sphere, and of course, they have also transcended the Western framework that can be used for cultural reference. According to Loretta Yang, they are about exploration, performance, and even celebration.

Beyond such visual tropes of Chinese and wider East Asian cultural significance, and certainly beyond a Western frame of cultural reference, the large-scale flower sculptures comprising "The Flowers are Beautiful and the Moon is Full" explore, perform, even celebrate, in Loretta H. Yang's words.

Using the traditional glass powder lost-wax casting technique, lifelike flowers and plants are created, contrasting with the abstract space of glass to bring out the utmost poetic sentiment from Chinese Tang and Song poetry. Loretta Yang's "Flowers in Full Bloom and the Full Moon" combines unrelated things through spiritual and visual montage, creating a new illusory space, which holds particularly profound significance for the Chinese. It becomes a unique Chinese poetic sentiment within the world of glass.

In 2000, Loretta Yang's creation "The Flowers Are Beautiful and the Moon is Full:
The Pure Spring Reflects the Orchid" was collected by the Museo de la Vidriera in Monterrey, Mexico.

By stripping away the colors of the flowers, the splendid blossoms of "Flowers in Full Bloom and the Full Moon" instantly become transparent. The flowers, suddenly colorless. Loretta Yang's "The Proof of Awareness" represents another phase in her contemplation of life and her creative journey. For the artist, the series of large-scale flowers in "The Proof of Awareness," presented in a form of transparent clarity, symbolize another stage in her reflection on life and her artistic process.

The flowers in the "A CHINESE LIULI FLOWER" series are magnified to a large scale, with colors that approach reality. In the contradiction between "real" and "unreal," a peculiar kind of "realness" is born. Emile Gallé once said that the colors of flowers are the colors created by God. His love for flowers, his display of colors, and his ode to nature are a glorification of God. The Chinese glass flowers bloom in exquisite beauty; Loretta Yang strives to use flowers to represent every stage of life, yet their presentation依托于 a fragile glass material also serves as a reminder of the humility and compassion in life.

A single flower can speak of a life.
Accept it, comprehend it, understand it,
The essence and truth of life exist therein.
——Loretta Yang
