This floral sculpture was inspired by the Burmese Gilded Wood Buddha Shrine (see http://www.phxart.org/slideshow/#/COL/72157606187498905/4834690907/) in the Asian Art gallery. The golden vases in the middle were simple rectangles to bring in the gold color from the actual sculpture and they were arranged in a step pattern to symbolize the path of ascension to enlightenment. The leaves were indeed intended to mimic the Buddha shape, which was why they were positioned in the center. The rest of the flowers were intended to be a physical representation of the love, or karma, etc that the buddha represents. The bamboo is a representation of the shape of the shrine and the physical boundaries representing limitations in the world. Anyway, that's how I remember it. My wife was the florist artist on this piece.

India? China? Japan? Thailand? I think I can eliminate the Near East, which is technically Asia, and Siberia, as I don't think I have ever seen Siberian Art in an Asian Art Museum collection.Dave-CostaRicaDailyPhoto.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02567583999945259422noreply@blogger.com
