About the artwork:
The Chinese character 福 (fu) is commonly translated as “Good Fortune,” but it also embodies deeper meanings of happiness and completeness. Its structure is composed of several symbolic elements:
On the left, “示” conveys the idea of a blessing or greeting.
On the right, the components “一” (one), “口” (mouth), and “田” (field) each carry layered meanings. “一” suggests unity and also represents the beam of a house; “口” denotes a mouth, symbolising a thriving family; and “田” signifies a field, evoking sustenance and cultivation.
Together, these elements reflect an ancient vision of good fortune: a stable home, fertile land, and the means to nourish one’s family.
