The Enrich collection is inspired by a deep and profound love for nature. It draws from classical Chinese roots of revering the land and all the riches it has to offer. The classic bitter melon is a crop symbolizing the dualities of life and nature. As if it was a mythical fruit created by the sun and the moon, this melon represents more than a reverence for nature (as the rest of the Enrich collection does). The bitter melon represents a distinctly Chinese philosophy of balance and harmony. Here, bittersweet is sculpted and colored to bring out that contrast. Studio artists draw upon its bittersweet nature, alluding to the same feeling often given to one by life and nature. The work reminds one to flourish in that delicate balance and enjoy all seasons through their moments, both bitter and sweet.
