Auspicious 88 - Lotus of Luck & Prosperity 2026 八十八吉祥之幸福的蓮花 水光搖曳 花瓣已謝 在枯萎的蓮蓬中 浮現出金剛鑽和寶珠 你我追求幸福與豐盛 但願就像蓮花的生命週期 在枯竭時孕育出璀璨和美好 並在祝福中將豐盛映照出無限延展 The light shimmers upon the swaying water and the petals have already fallen.

Auspicious 88 — Lotus of Ego & Egoless (2026) 八十八吉祥之我執與無我的蓮花 在巨觀中見到小我 似乎是靈魂的眼睛在高處看著自己的肉身 因為我小，所以見到自己成為宇宙的一部分 在微觀中見到大我 似乎是肉身的眼睛在看著面前自己的靈魂 因為我大，所以見到自己本來就是全宇宙 Within the macrocosm of the convex mirrors, we find the small self. It is as if the soul’s eye gazes down from a great height upon its own physical form. In my smallness, I witness myself becoming a fragment of the infinite universe. Within the microcosm of the concave mirror hidden inside, we find the great self. It is as if the physical eye gazes directly into the soul. In my vastness, I realize that I have always been the entire universe. 還至本處 - Return to the Origin. 2026/2/14 - 2026/7/26. 展覽地點：曼殊堂 台中市大里區永隆路 143 號. #Auspicious88 #studioDong #NickDong #董承濂 #八十八吉祥

Auspicious 88 - Lotus of Love & Desire 2026 八十八吉祥之愛與慾的蓮花 粉紅絲線影射人與人之間對情感的表達 有時是無私的愛 有時是佔有的慾 有時在矇朧中，感受溫柔纏綿 有時在光明中，體會真情流露 在隱晦與坦誠之中跳圓舞曲 Pink threads as metaphors for emotional connection. Sometimes it is selfless love; other times, a possessive yearning. A lingering tenderness felt in the haze or a raw sincerity revealed in the light. A waltz danced between hidden desire and true love. 還至本處 - Return to the Origin 2026/2/14 - 2026/7/26 展覽地點：曼殊堂 台中市大里區永隆路143號 #Auspicious88 #studioDong #NickDong #董承濂 #八十八吉祥

Nick Dong, “Auspicious 88 - Parasol of Luck & Prosperity” As a ceremonial accessory for nobility, a Parasol served not only as a shield from the sun but also as a symbol of power and aristocratic status. The fact that the umbrella is constantly held at the top signifies honor, esteem, and authority. The Parasol is ingeniously transformed into light, radiating with a rainbow-like brilliance, creating an atmosphere of wealth and auspiciousness. In the cube features numerous umbrellas, each inlaid with exquisite diamonds. These luxurious umbrellas, reflected through mirrors, create the illusion of countless treasures. Viewers can feel the abundance and prosperity presented by the piece, mirroring wealth and flourishing success. This representation brings an endless flow of good fortune and riches.

Nick Dong, “Auspicious 88 - Lotus of Living & Dying” The lotus symbolizes purity and innocence, rising untainted from the mud to become a symbol of the birth of Buddhas and sacred life. In Hinduism, a lotus also emerges from the navel of Vishnu, representing the source of life. The lotus installation artfully employs color and light to convey this concept. At its center, it's pink, embodying the softness and warmth of life, which gradually extends outward into gold, mirroring life's nobility and brilliance. The petals are painted with abstract symbols of life and death, radiating from the center. Each layer of petals independently rotates in different directions, representing the various stages and dynamics of life. While the lotus's emergence from the mud without stain represents life's purity and beauty, its eventual return to the earth in decay signifies rebirth and the completion of life's cycle. Only through experiencing life and death can the full circle of existence be realized. During @sf_artweek , our doors will be open to the public 1/20-1/22, 3-7pm.

A new year in motion. ✨ Reflecting on a year of creation and looking forward to the momentum of 2026. This video shares a glimpse of the journey. Featuring some of the completed kinetic works from the “vault” of 2025, alongside a few pieces currently in progress that I can’t wait to share fully soon. Thank you for being part of this creative journey. Happy New Year from me, the studio, and the true masters of the house (the cats) 🐾. #KineticArt #ZenArt #OddlySatisfying #Sculptor #StudioCats

Lucid Plane features a range of styles of artwork including kinetic sculptures like “Auspicious 88 - Two Golden Fish of Together & Apart” by Nick Dong, @studiodong . “In Indian culture, the Two Golden Fishes symbolize the ancient rivers Ganges and Yamuna, each representing the sun and moon. They embody joy, autonomy, and freedom, signifying the enduring and expansive nature of Buddhist teachings. Two abstract golden fish float above a blue mirrored base, ingeniously utilizing magnetic technology to create the illusion of the fish freely swimming in water, embodying ease, joy, and fearlessness. The movement of the fish, like a tango dance, symbolizes life's gatherings and partings. As they approach each other, they engage in a playful interaction, then drift apart only to meet again, representing the profound subtleties of connectivity and relationships in life.” Book an appointment by visiting the link in bio.
