Chinese characters are the most ancient form of written language still in use today. Almost every character contains profound wisdom, reminding people how to conduct themselves and deal with others. This artwork “Tree of Wisdom” was inspired by a flask clamp holding a tree. The Chinese term for flask clamp “夾子” is homonymous with “甲子”, in which “甲” not only means first, but also indicates the growth of grass and trees, symbolizing “students growing under teachers’ careful nurturing as if seeds removing their outer shell, sprouting, growing, maturing, and then yielding fruitful results.” Hence, this artwork has the implied meaning of a blessing for wisdom.
