DI: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?
LJ : Mid-Autumn Festival is a very special festival in China. On this festival, everyone will give friends what they think is good. In the design, a beautiful combination of blue and gold was used, and the pale golden moon pattern and greetings were used to construct a whole figure. The moon is not complete, which symbolizes that "people have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and full", but the whole moon is a circle, which represents perfection and reunion. Open the box. There are eight metal boxes with tea in them. Eight boxes correspond to eight moon shapes. There is a full moon in the middle, which represents the meaning of wishing reunion.
DI: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?
LJ : In ancient China, the moon was divided into eight morphological stages in a year, and eight tea leaves represented the moon's eight morphological stages in a year. The meaning of gifts can last for a year. And those eight metal boxes are reusable, and they can be used year after year.
