The series Silk Road Flower Rain, commissioned for the Chinatown district, exhibits colourful glass forms representing abstracted flowers and raindrops; bamboo for longevity, chrysanthemum for good health, and pomegranate to ward off evil spirits. The deliberate choice of eight sculptures per series is auspicious as it represents luck and fortune in Chinese numerology.
